About this episode

Adam Curry leads a somber yet celebratory tribute to the late John C. Dvorak in this special memorial broadcast. The episode features a curated selection of clips from the No Agenda Nation, honoring Dvorak’s legacy as a tech skeptic, media critic, and culinary enthusiast. Curry confirms the program will continue following a brief hiatus, maintaining the decentralized infrastructure built through Podcasting 2.0.

The recap spans decades of Dvorak’s career, from his early days at PC Magazine and Tech TV to his final role as a podcasting pioneer. Key segments analyze the history of software licensing through Seymour Rubenstein, the etymology of the word nerd via Dr. Seuss, and the technical evolution of fractal antennas in mobile phones. The broadcast also revisits Dvorak’s specific culinary standards, including his praise for Nash’s Produce carrots and his intense disdain for Greek Retsina wine. Political deconstruction remains a focus, with critiques of Victoria Nuland’s 2014 Ukraine phone call and the Washington Post’s pedantic fact-checking of Donald Trump.

Listeners from Tokyo to South London share personal memories of Dvorak’s blunt career advice and his habit of bumping his microphone during recordings. The episode concludes with a final knighting ceremony and a symbolic roundtable feast featuring flank steak and Costco wine. Adam Curry signs off from the Fredericksburg studio with a final call for Dvorak’s amateur radio handle, KJ6LNG.

00:00 Here it comes. Ah, there it is! Adam Curry John C. Dvorak It's Sunday July 26th 2026 This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1889 This Is No Agenda Yeah, I just can't say anything in that intro at the moment.

00:38 Hello, Noah Jendonation. Hello Troll Room here live on Sunday the 26th What a week it's been We've been laughing through all of the tears I've been on the phone with the entire Dvorak clan Many people who of course knew John It's been... The outpouring has just been so amazing John would have loved seeing his name trending on X What is up with that? People from years and years ago have suddenly reappeared. And every single one of you who emailed me and said, hey I'm sure your email box is blowing up right now but...I'm telling you yes it is overwhelming! Now on Thursday's show we gathered John's friends and family and we mourned him We remembered him. We talked about him. We laughed about him. Today it is the producers turn

01:35 Before I intro what y'all have put together for him, I want you to know that right after the next two hours and 43 minutes We will be telling you how we're moving forward with no agenda because the show of course just can't stop. Things will change and there's a lot of interesting waters to navigate as we move forward, but also have such an outpouring respect and love for John, so we will be reading several hours worth of donations. And I look forward to it because every single...I know everybody's grieving and I just love to see how everybody is pouring their hearts out into these notes

02:21 So I had asked if you had a favorite clip from the show with favorite bit anything that you liked, please send it to me Wow so we used clip gene. You know thing is called pod heard now Thank You sir deanonymous he was beefing up his servers I have to say thank you to void zero as well on the last show He was adding servers fixing DNS all kinds of stuff just to keep everything on there's wonderful And so I spent about eight hours yesterday putting this show together and it was amazing. These are your choices

02:57 And it was so fun to see how many people selected similar things, things that I didn't expect. I'd say 80% of what you guys sent in or selected on PodHerd Clip Genie, I had completely forgotten about for instance...I had completely forgotten that John had done tips of the day since episode 200! They just weren't structured the way we did them. So it was amazing and And somewhere around 3, I usually have a glass of wine with dinner. Somewhere on three o'clock, I texted Tina and said, but I got to break open the bottle. I was laughing crying and I think you'll do the same so this is an ode to John.

CHAPTER 02 / 191 Discussion

Michael Jackson Parody, Wood-Burning Gasifier Trucks

A discussion regarding a song parody idea based on Michael Jackson's "Blame it on the Boogie" titled "Blame it on the Glitch" transitions into a memory about alternative fuel sources. The conversation covers wood-burning gasification systems for trucks and generators, with one host expressing interest in dragging a burning system behind an old flatbed Ford to power a vehicle.

03:38 as selected by Noah Jen The Nation, by our producers. And I'm so grateful that you did this So enjoy this because this is coming from YOU Blame it on the glitch! And- and I did this work in 10 minutes It wasn't that hard to find Blame it on the glitch Yeah well reporters don't care This kind of data... Okay here's a song idea for something No no no no Well I was gonna keep going with internal past tense Well just I'm not gonna interrupt You were just gonna tell the song idea Find this song. It's Michael Jackson blame it on the boogie to blame it on the glitch I think you could be done. He could be blaming on the buggy No, that is just sounds too similar You have to rewrite some lyrics to get the rhymes right and that's Chris popping another beer as we speak

04:22 Don't blame it on the bash card, don't blame it on the boot load Or thermal overload Blame it on the glitch The guy's becoming alcoholic since he's been doing stuff for this show. Like hey man I'm drunk! Don't worry about me! And I remembered a conversation from, no...I was thinking steam engines. You know? I'm been looking at batteries and I don't think the batteries are going to work. And we talked about gasifiers about wood-burning trucks 12 years ago! Do you remember that?! Yep! He's gonna build me one! The gasifier where you burn wood and it's gonna... I think this is appropriate It's gonna power my existing generator

05:18 If anything, I think you should power your truck. Well and that was the second thing! I'm not gonna wait to buy a flying car... ...I'm gonna get an old flatbed Ford that has a tow hitch so i can drag the burning system behind me and drive with it. Exactly! This is the way I've always seen you going out. What do you mean going out? I don't want to die, I wanna drive Gasification systems are coolest crap and we have so much wood around here. And you, he told me about a buddy of his who has actually done this with his truck and he says I can go about 15 miles on a dead cat

CHAPTER 03 / 191 Discussion

Washington Post Fact-Checking, Donald Trump's Misleading Claims

The Washington Post database of Donald Trump's "false or misleading claims" is scrutinized for being overly subjective and pedantic. Specific examples are cited, such as the Post labeling a claim about winning Texas as a lie and nitpicking the difference between 50 and 51 years regarding unemployment records. The process is described as "ant-fucking" due to the focus on minor rounding differences in job growth statistics.

washington post· donald trump· fact-checking· job growth· unemployment rate

06:02 He said you could throw anything, he could throw anything in there. You can throw whatever you want as long it can burn then you can drive on that Now there was another element to this which was the quote unquote fact checking and the fact checking thing is getting really old and stale And one of things if you notice when you listen to the fact-checking they really didn't find a lot of facts that Trump said were wrong They were just kind of questionable or borderline or Trump would say something like 3.9 million and they said no it was three point eight five they're nitpicking about some of these facts you know so they get added to the 25,000 lies I'd like to strengthen your argument because i got a little tired it's actually more than 16 000 lies this is this is the thing this should be in the trump rotation sixteen thousand lies i went and found i wanted to find out

06:54 Who has tracked this since it's such a thing? 16,000! It's the Washington Post. The number they have... They have a database and the number is currently 16,241 and of course it's not lies they titled as false or misleading claims just the first page just to give you an idea what in here January 18th 2020 Trump said I remember 2016, the election. The fake news they said Trump was going to have a hard time winning Texas So that's one column that's the false allegation or the lie On the right hand column they have their debunked statement Literally one line

07:34 Trump was always going to win Texas easily. So that's a lie! What he said there is a lie because that's their fact check, Trump was always going to win Texas easily and couple of others remember when some people were talking about both Georgia and Texas possibly switching over. But this is my point, it's very subjective claims. January 18th 2020 Trump said since my election the United States has gained 7 million jobs unthought of if I had said that in the campaign trail the fake news would have gone crazy

08:12 The rebuttal, because this of course is false. Trump cites how many jobs have been created since the election but not since the beginning of his administration! Ha ha we've got him! Since he took office it was 6 point 7 million and now it's rounding up to... Okay next one January 18th The unemployment rate is now 3.5% the lowest in more than 51 years The rebuttal from Washington Post. I have to do the voice. For some reason, Trump always stretches this claim! Throughout 2018 and 2019 a low of 3.5% unemployment would be the best in 50 years not 51! This is the sh** that's at the top of the list yes

09:00 It's 50 not 51? And that what they call a lie. Because they feel that when he said it, it was in the year that didn't have the exact number so really was the best and fifty years are not fifty one That's one of the lies! You can go through all 16 thousand of them Its stuff like that... its called ant-f**king and its lame although very entertaining to read it just you'd be..its crazy Well, it just points out the insanity of these people. It's The Washington Post! But The Washington Post is insane...

CHAPTER 04 / 191 Discussion

Seymour Rubenstein, Evolution of Software Licensing

The history of software licensing is traced back to WordStar creator Seymour Rubenstein in the late 1970s. Rubenstein's vision of an "iron-clad" licensing agreement eventually evolved into the modern shrink-wrap license and digital Terms of Service. The hosts joke about the legal binding of these contracts and the inevitability of everything from books to television being licensed rather than owned.

seymour rubenstein· wordstar· software licensing· shrink-wrap license· terms of service

09:36 This all began in the 70s, late 70's actually. I was very young then John. This began with a software entrepreneur named Seymour Rubenstein. Seymour Rubenstein who was the purveyor of WordStar among other products had developed an interesting iron clad licensing agreement and i've talked to Seymour about this over the years And he always believed that in some day, in the not too distant future or distant future everything would be licensed including books and television shows that you watch. So you can't copy them because your licensed it

10:20 and you might maybe can make one back up for personal use which they're always fighting at that too by the way so the idea of everything being licensed evolved into the shrink-wrap license which became law which is that terms of service license that when you open up a CD used to be floppies. The end user agreement on some piece of paper when you rip open the package, You have accepted it. Yes, you are now under contract I always say have your 13 year old kid open it because they're not bound by these same legal restrictions Anyway like that's gonna help An interesting John C. Dvorak tip The John C. Dvorak Tip of the Day Game set match! The Lizard People win

CHAPTER 05 / 191 Discussion

Department of Justice, Petition Against William Barr

A petition signed by 2,000 former Department of Justice prosecutors calling for the resignation of Attorney General William Barr is dismissed as a recurring partisan mailing list. The hosts claim the list consists primarily of Democrats and "Never Trumpers" who resurface every few months to criticize the administration's intervention in cases like that of Roger Stone.

william barr· department of justice· roger stone· democracy now· petition

11:07 This is pretty transparent here. Play this clip, Firestorm over the 2000 ex-DOJs I got a comment about this Next tonight the growing firestorm surrounding Attorney General William Barr More than 2,000 former Justice Department prosecutors and officials now publicly calling for his resignation The AG facing heavy criticism for intervening in the sentencing of President Trump's longtime friend Roger Stone That sentencing now set for Thursday long time friend. Now the this if you remember about six months, it may even been a year ago there was the same 2000 ex-DOJ guys who signed the petition saying that the president should be I believe should be impeached and this is just a mailing list This is a group of two thousand that will they're all Democrats. You're right!

11:55 So I looked into first time it happened, which is the same 2000 guys. You can look at the list of the same people. I looked into this back then when it happened to first time I've tracked down two or three of them and wrote them email them that maybe I tracked down more than that but only got responses from two or three you were trying did you acquire the entire list? The list is available That's a hot list, man. The article that ran in Medium is the same list that they just ran with these people. John! You know what we can do with this list? Here... We'll send the email I saw what you were doing. I was able to turn on your webcam. I saw what you were watching. You need to send me five Bitcoin Come on man it's a great list It's a great list to do that for. I don't have the emails. There's just a list of names Oh oh that's a problem

12:39 So I had to dig through and dig around, and finally got the emails from maybe five or six of them because some of them are in famous law firms. And you go to their website and there's the guy. XDOJ, it was just amazing how many XDOJ people there are in giant law firms. So I sent a bunch of notes out because I thought this sounded like a bunch of bull crap that they're just putting people's names down, like petitioners do. But no! Everything wrote back now, oh yeah! Now I read they were all irked that even question that they did signed on to this thing and any detail They're all just a bunch of either never Trumpers or just Democrats who don't like Trump. It's the same group So this is gonna crop up every six to nine months 2,000 X DOJ's saying that Trump did the wrong thing This is bull crap good and effective that

13:29 that ABC News, the sort of Democracy Now!, just played it straight. It's just beyond pale as far as I'm concerned. Just bad coverage is not very well done. Good deconstruction! I had forgotten all about that list... That makes so much sense what a bunch- its hooey! Its malarkey I say! Then of course we have we have a classic favorite the pansexual you know what that is the pansexual of course Yeah, yeah. You have sex with an animal? Anything! Now what are you going to do? Anyone gonna eat this meatloaf?! Really? But his face, the face. I'm not talking about you know... Okay wait a minute let me just get this straight so amongst your many talents and remember John has worked for oil companies he's a master chef he is a wine connoisseur he is technology expert He used to hand deliver PC magazine to all 30 thousand subscribers Not only that but You can tell just by looking at guys face whether he had a vasectomy or no

CHAPTER 06 / 191 Discussion

Vasectomies as Youth Serums, California Zephyr Train

A claim is made that in the 1920s, vasectomies were marketed as a way to look more youthful, though the host argues they actually make a man's face look "puffier and softer." The host asserts he can identify men who have had the procedure with 99% accuracy based on their facial structure. The segment is interrupted by the sound of the California Zephyr train passing through Emeryville.

vasectomy· youth serum· facial features· california zephyr· emeryville

14:37 Yeah, okay now how I got clued into this let me back up a little bit. Oh please do had this I had oops ouch the backed up too far so I had this book and I just irked to no end that I've lost this book, although I think I might be able to find it in one of the library searches that Google and Microsoft are doing. It was a book done in the 20's. And in 1920's, it was a book on health. In the 1920's vasectomies were used as a way of making people look more youthful. birth control, it was done for the purposes of like instead of a facelift you get a vasectomy. And it would make you look younger and they showed all these pictures in this book and I looked at these pictures and I looked at enough of them and then I knew enough guys who had vasectomies that I could see what it does. It makes for some reason... You know how I talk to people about this, well they say it makes no sense because all it does is this or that? How could it do what your describing?

15:41 Vasectomies were used as a youth serum. People get a vasectomy and they look younger by a little bit, but in fact they didn't look younger they looked different and it makes your face a little puffier and a little more softer It's kind of hard to describe but I'm telling the truth And I've actually done this with friends that have had vasectomies and just without coming, I'd say... I would just look at them and say you've had a vasectomy right? And the guy said 99% of the time i'm right. Were we in time with the Zephyr or what? We started the whole thing just as the Zephyr appeared It's a 10 car train too for some reason. I kept seeing these ten car trains for the last week and I'm thinking As I was looking at these trains again Why are there ten cars all of sudden they always been eight

16:33 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... 8 cars. It's not early! I'm telling you, I'm hearing it honk and i think its gonna be- well I mean I can hear the honk from Emeryville this horn they got on these things. Zephyr. Right in time perfect. Perfect im so happy. Its gonna be a good show There goes Zephyr right on time. Wooo! With every- I mean the Judy- there goes Zephyr It gives us effort by the way just for your information all right Going good. Oh perfect time zephyr thank goodness there we go

Fleur de Sel, French Sea Salt Tip

John C. Dvorak provides a culinary tip regarding Fleur de Sel, a hand-harvested French sea salt. He describes it as an outstanding product for salads because it maintains its crunchiness and has a superior mineral profile compared to standard table salts.

fleur de sel· sea salt· french salt· culinary tip· salad

17:17 I'm going to tell you a couple salt tips. Okay, John C. Devorax Salt Tip of the Day! The really great salt in the world that just for some reason has got it's just has everything going for it are these hand uh these things are pulled by individuals and various salt marshes and its French but they do make it here and there it's called Fleur de Sel F-L-E-U-R D-E S-E-L It's an outstanding salad, especially in a salad or something that maintains its crunchiness and it's just a fantastic thing.

CHAPTER 08 / 191 Discussion

Dealing with Difficult People, Ticketmaster Vaccine Requirements

Advice is given on handling argumentative people by pretending to follow their advice while continuing as before, leading them to believe they caused an improvement. This transitions into a November 2020 news item regarding Ticketmaster's plan to require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for concert entry, which the hosts debate as either a real policy or a "threat mechanism" to encourage vaccination.

ticketmaster· vaccine passport· psychological manipulation· covid-19· vaccination

18:03 are full of crap. And that's the advice, the more you know! And they tend to... They can be played and I don't like to say that you want to play people but they can be played by just going along with whatever they have to say do not be argumentative and i'll give two examples. I'll give one example a good one uh well actually i'll give it a number i could generalize Somebody will say, hey I don't like the way you're doing this and you're doing it whatever way you're doing it. And instead of saying well I'm doing for this reason or that reason or whatever, you say oh okay what do you want me to do? What do you think I should be better at? Well I'm all ears. Be very attentive and then they'll tell ya the way they wantcha to do something

18:52 And then just keep doing it the way you were doing it because that's the way you do things. Don't pay any attention to their advice and within, I don't know a few months they'll come back and say well so how is that new way of doing things? You say its great! You were right! The guy will say yep I've noticed that you've changed your much better than you were. That happens all the time because everybody thinks they're so important And hello, eight months ago. This is exactly what has been prognosticated on this very program but it became real when Ticketmaster announced it. Ticketmaster may require vaccine or testing proof to go to a concert. This sounds like a vaccine certificate becoming almost like a passport. Yeah might only be the beginning of what I mean who could have foreseen this we had no of what? It could be almost almost like a passport

CHAPTER 09 / 191 Discussion

IBM and Digital Health Passes, Vaccine Passport Debate

The involvement of IBM and Clear in developing digital health passes for Ticketmaster is compared to historical tracking efforts. While one host believes these systems will be fully implemented for travel and work, the other argues it is a propaganda tactic that will never be fully realized due to the financial costs to businesses. They record a formal disagreement in their "Red Book" on November 12, 2020.

ibm· clear· ticketmaster· vaccine passport· digital health pass

19:49 I'm shi- shocked. Yeah, it might only be the beginning as well so Ticketmaster plans to have customers use their cell phones to verify their vaccination or show a negative test within the past 24-72 hours now there are different types of apps and companies out there that track your health data so Ticketmaster will use a combination of a digital ticketing app with a combination of health info firms like Clear and IBM that tracks your health information and then... Nice to see IBM back in the game of putting numbers on human beings. You haven't done a real job like this since Nazi Germany it's been awhile since IBM was used to tally and count and track the Jews with their Jew tracing and tracking program look it up! And they're back in the game we've got the documents, look at that do your own research. The master will use a combination of digital ticketing app

20:42 the send over your test results to their health pass companies like Clear, like IBM which would then be verified in a Ticketmaster app itself. But you can imagine that it's not just concerts think of movies and also sporting events. What about workplaces? Getting on a plane going on a cruise going to work

21:20 privacy concerns as well. They say you can't access your medical records, but is that discrimination? Something's gotta give. Yeah. That's the way it is. It's the way it is! No, Stuart Varney, you big headed oaf. No, that's not the way it is. Something's not got to give Only if people give into it and they're gonna well guys see I don't believe this the story is anything more than Subtle propaganda to get you to go get vaccinated. Are you crazy threat? This is this is power and control sitting right out there, and then they go oh We're not like that we're not actually gonna do it please

21:56 I didn't say that. What did you say? What i said is the methodology they're using as a threat mechanism to make it sound as though they gonna do it and they make it sound serious and probably Varney thinks they are, who knows but the mechanism is to get you vaccinated Right! And its working But they're never gonna put implement this bullcrap because it costs people money. Okay, okay Redbook putting it in right now I'm tired. I gotta say the ticket master will not Implement this program. Okay Ticketmaster, I'm putting it in passport today is November 12 2020

22:40 and A C yes J C D no. And I will be able to read that it's absolutely going to be implemented yep you'll never be able to read it because whenever is never gonna happen all right in the book as fun we can we can agree agreed to disagree no he cannot not agree wrong just wrong you don't disagree with that idea yeah I disagree with you people keep saying we can agree to disagreed Well, it's a way of saying fuck you I think.

CHAPTER 10 / 191 Discussion

Stay Safe Greeting, Handmaid's Tale Reference

The common pandemic-era greeting "stay safe" is criticized as annoying and performative. The hosts experiment with sarcastic retorts, including "under his eye"—a reference to The Handmaid's Tale—and "stay safe with Jesus," concluding that the latter is a more effective "showstopper" in social interactions.

stay safe· handmaid's tale· religious greetings· social etiquette· sarcasm

23:19 Really? You go to the store, yeah. In California they do Oh that's like stay safe Like we always joke around that When you're out in the field in a hurricane Stay safe Yeah same thing It's just we go to this store and then say okay How is business?

CHAPTER 11 / 191 Discussion

Public Poopers, Brown Stain Girl Parody

A parody of Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" titled "Brown Stain Girl" is played to introduce a discussion about a supposed subculture of "public poopers." An anecdote is shared about a PR woman in Las Vegas who allegedly engaged in this behavior, which the host describes as a "weird perversion" with a surprisingly large number of participants online.

Ball in Your Court, Tennis Idiom Origin

The phrase "the ball is in your court" is analyzed after one host expresses long-standing annoyance with the expression. Research confirms the idiom originates from tennis, referring to the moment the ball is hit over the net and the responsibility to act shifts to the opponent. The host jokingly proclaims March 13th as "Ball in Your Half-Court Day."

ball in your court· idioms· tennis· etymology· language

27:42 Done. What does ball in court mean? That means we are not playing cards, we are playing basketball. Football. Not tennis? Football! There's no football courts. You know what it means, the ball is in your court? And why is he using it as a phrase and is an American phrase or international phrase? What court are we talking about? This bull crap!

CHAPTER 13 / 191 Discussion

Yousef's Hummus, Sabra Soybean Oil Criticism

A food tip is provided for Yousef's Hummus, which is praised for using olive oil instead of the soybean oil found in national brands like Sabra. The host notes that while authentic Middle Eastern hummus is hard to find in the United States, this specific brand approaches the correct texture and ingredient quality.

Yeah Costco I don't know where you know, I have it in the refrigerator and I don't know where I bought it now the which says something but anyway The people who out there who like hummus probably have discovered I mean if they ever had real hummus in you know in made by an old lady in the basement In a Middle Eastern restaurant in the Middle East yes Real hummus made fresh daily yeah know that you can't get good hummus in this country No But there's stuff that approaches it and the one I always liked the most was Sabra, which is a national brand. But Sabra they refuse to use olive oil in their hummus they use soybean oil and it bugs me but they have the texture and everything down

South Africa Hospital Capacity, ICU Bed Profitability

Reports from Johannesburg, South Africa, indicate that hospitals are at 140% capacity, though the strain is attributed to trauma cases and alcohol-related accidents rather than COVID-19. This leads to a discussion about "Certificate of Need" laws in Washington state, where hospitals allegedly use media narratives of bed shortages to pressure regulators for more profitable ICU beds.

30:24 So this Yousef's uses olive oil. So that's your tip of the day. It's gonna be on mass hysteria. Nice! And so I'm showing them the numbers out of Africa and they're all, yeah... So what? You know, ICUs are full, they're full! Oh wait stop right there can i play you my clip before you tell us a story Oh, if it is pertinent of course. South Africa! Our correspondent Nomsa Maseko is in Johannesburg she told me hospitals are under strain They are severely under strain particularly in two provinces the Western Cape and Guadalunatal Provinces where hospitals are at full capacity some by up to a hundred

31:14 and 40%. But it's not just COVID patients that are filling up those beds, but it's also trauma cases which are fueled by crime and alcohol. And also road traffic accidents to the sale of alcohol will be banned with immediate effect in South Africa until the middle of January next year. See it's exactly what's going on here only in South Africa you can see it and it's out in the open because they're locked up and they're getting getting hammered and dying It's not you heard it very clearly. It's not just a is not Covey No, no, it's all the other stuff that's going on Well we've had clips from hospitals and there's no cope with patients in the place But be that as it may back to the liberals a phrase I don't want to use again So I'm getting this thing and then one of them chimes and says this is great John's gonna obviously not take two vaccine that moves me up one place

32:08 What, in podcaster land? What is he thinking or... In the vaccination line. Oh my God! That moves me up one place. Sticking with ICU beds for a sec. Boots on the ground breakdown of the constant lack of ICU beds anonymous one of our producers The change in narrative behind this short is local hospitals in Richland and Kenwick Washington got into a big spat a few years ago. to be a proven need in the area and can't take all the customers a neighboring hospital might have room for. There you go, so if you slam every media outlet with we don't have enough ICU beds you can get the public opinion on your side and get more of the highly profitable beds you would otherwise not be allowed to have

33:09 You can also use pressure from the quote shortage of beds to say the standards of the department health are not right and more bed should be allowed because of the unprecedented times has shown that we're not prepared. So this is the undertone Wow, that's a great note isn't it fantastic? The other thing is a great note and makes nothing but sense Yeah That's what that's the whole reasoning behind the hospital bed shortage because you You can see video after video from around the world, people are standing outside of the emergency room. No one's there. There is no one inside. It's empty! Now not all of them but it seems bull crappy But this... when I hear this I'm like okay...

Vaccine Line Gimmick, Giving Up My Spot

A humorous strategy is proposed for declining the COVID-19 vaccine by telling people, "I'm giving up my spot for someone who needs it more." The hosts suggest naming a specific person, like a "liberal neighbor," to make the gesture seem altruistic and difficult to criticize.

vaccine line· social engineering· vaccination· adam curry· humor

33:54 I just had an idea. So you could say, hey, hey Dvorak you're taking the vaccine and you can say no i've decided to give up my place for my friend what's his name fill in the blank lib joe Because he really needs it more than I do. And then the next time you can say it about anybody! No, I really feel that my next door neighbor...I'm giving up my spot for him. I'll get to the back of the line." That's the ticket baby! Have you taken a vaccine? No no no, I'm giving up my space for someone else who needs it but I think is better and more powerful if you specify it Now I think that is another one of your little gimmicks. You've come up with a number of these, I'll give you that. It's a toolkit! That was like the different things you can say to TSA in those days... Yeah, I can't lift my arms above my head There are bunches of things you could do but that is a great one and that's exactly what I'm going to say if people ask me when am I getting... No, no, I think other people need more ideas And go ahead

34:52 contact him because whenever someone hears, hey I'm here with Adam Curry. He says he's not going to take the vaccine is giving his spot up in line for you.

Egg Yolk Antibodies, COVID-19 Conspiracy Theory

A 2021 study published on PubMed regarding the efficacy of egg yolk antibodies (IgY) in neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 is discussed. The hosts link this scientific finding to a conspiracy theory suggesting that recent egg shortages and chicken feed changes were intentional efforts to prevent the public from accessing a natural neutralizing agent against the virus.

35:45 Where's... Dutch retard. Which is a contradiction in terms. Whoa! I'm all over it today, baby. Pre- you know proto TikTok back in the day called twigs or whatever the hell was fine Oh, man. It's a new video service by the no agenda show twigs everybody hey did you post it wig? Yeah posted a twig and so it has a bud there's a thing about eggs Everyone's noticed the eggs we had big egg producer egg farm catching fire There's a story out there

36:31 that people believe that the feed, the chicken feed has changed. I have no evidence... well there's a lot of people talking about it and they have no evidence you know? No there is no evidence what this goes like... let me summarize It goes like this. They put a guy on YouTube or TikTok, he says you know I've been feeding my chickens this new this Purina feed and they haven't laid an egg for a year! A whole year this chicken hasn't laid an egg yeah then i got suspicious so I changed the feed and I gave him some of this into some of that now they're laying every once a day just like usual which could just be a change of feet or...I mean I want to believe it but I think it gets much better with this report than

37:16 that is now just circulating. This is from PubMed, it looks like mainly Chinese researchers but it's published I won't give away the title It was published January 2021 abstract The SARS-CoV-2 virus is still spreading worldwide and there is an urgent need to effectively prevent and control this pandemic. This study evaluated the potential efficacy of egg yolk antibodies as a neutralizing agent against SARS-CoV-2 We investigated the neutralizing effect of anti-spike S1 IGYs, that's egg yolk antibodies on the SARS CoV 2 pseudovirus as well as its inhibitory effect on the bindings of the coronavirus spike protein mutants to human ACE2 which as we know that receptor is a big part of people getting sick. Our results show

38:11 that the anti-spike S1 egg yolk antibody showed significant neutralizing potency against SARS-CoV2 pseudovirus, various spike protein mutants and even SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. It might be a feasible tool for the prevention and control of ongoing COVID 19." Now we've got a conspiracy theory. That is a beauty! Wow! Now, now we've got a conspiracy theory. I'm giving you ten points for that gem. Thank you all take one point from me. Isn't that cool? And if you need to eat more eggs...

These carrots are the most astonishing product I've ever had in so far as a carrot is concerned. I mean listen to the crunch on these things, this is like a carrot that's not even refrigerated! Ah come on that's plywood you're cracking there, that's no really a carrot. It sounds like a piece of wood listen! Yeah it sounds good, that is an outstanding product. And they're extremely sweet

Muscadine Wine, Post Familia Winery

The characteristics of Muscadine wine, made from large Southern grapes, are discussed. While the host generally finds the wine "rank" and difficult to drink, he identifies Post Familia Winery in Arkansas as a producer that makes a palatable version. He notes the grapes can grow to the size of large apricots.

39:33 That is an outstanding product right there John C. Dvorak Anyway, he's known for these carrots Yeah, that's my food tip of the day for the people who need the food news Hey you know what? These are things that you learn only on The No Agenda Show and mind you... ...that impresses the crap out of people when you lay that smackdown on them Are you a guzzler? Yes, the wine is good here Muscadine wine is a very peculiar, it's made from the grape that's about the size of a medium-sized tomato. And it's called a muscadine and its got really good eating if you have children they love eating these things are delicious They have the only muscadine wine that I've ever had that I could actually choke down without gagging The wine that it makes is really rank

40:28 But and it's made everywhere in the south I think it's just some sort of a local challenge to see how much you can drink before you throw up. I'm not sure It's never been fully explained to me why they even bother making wine from this stuff, but I have had some From this one Post Familia winery up in Arkansas that makes a good one. By good I mean you can actually drink it. You know they make a really good one here in Birmingham? I don't think so... Yeah, it's the size of a large apricot each grape Large apricot Large apricot Large apricot

43:09 Another culinary tip from John C. Dvorak The thing that's interesting about PG tips to me and a lot of these other teas, we're talking about Sainsbury's has a nice thing called Red Label which is a competitor Is that the British over when they were colonizing the world? They did these long-term deals all over the place for things like tea So they essentially have, I don't know how long the contract is for the various tea providers. But they get some of the best in the world because they kind of lock down these deals permanently back in the 1800s. Isn't that in some way related to upcoming December 16th when we commemorate the Boston Tea Party?

43:54 yeah the boston tea parties you know there's a physical if you study enough american history courses this gets pretty peculiar as to why the boston tea party took place but they were trying to show up to you and everybody so they're also stealing from china making them take opium but i read that was late uh... that was later here boys has a moped and give us the team this morning Walking around the same old world It's never gonna be the same But in my heart and in my mind I'll keep you there to stay.

46:43 Stare at goats? Right, Sirian and Menace speak to goats. And then that one... Speak men and the goats who look scared next of them yes? And then the other one is uh the one that he that Swinton won The Academy Award for which I think it's just i've watched that it's one of those few movies actually watch if it's on what was that Let me see Clooney is it on Tuesdays on CBS at the 9 a central filmography No It might be I Like the men who stared goats that was a pretty good movie.

47:32 That's the name of the movie? Yeah, Michael Clayton is one of them. It's just a great film about a fixer in a big law firm and it is riveting and its got all kinds of creepy stuff going on If you haven't seen Michael Clayton you have to watch it Just rent it get it on Netflix or whatever Sounds like a very good No Agenda Movie tip Yes sir no agenda movie tip Well, with the passing of John C.

Fartgate, Chris Matthews and Eric Swalwell

The "Fartgate" incident involving an audible noise during an MSNBC interview with Eric Swalwell is debated. While some blamed Swalwell, the hosts argue the sound likely came from Chris Matthews in the studio, noting the acoustics of a leather chair and the lack of audio lag in the hardwired connection to Congress.

fartgate· chris matthews· eric swalwell· msnbc· flatulence

48:30 I'm pretty sure it was real. You can't know for sure, because i wasn't watching so... Okay well if it was real he's miked with a lavalier Thank you but I have the answer to this! This is the whole point First, the clip of Fartgate. We have Chris Matthews MSNBC interviewing Eric Swalwell who just fresh from the hearing and he's in the halls of Congress In the halls of congress So far it is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election so yes The analysis that you started is spot on because when I saw...I'm just gonna assume its real

49:17 This is very simple. This is Chris Williams, what's his name? Wallace Matthews. So he asked the question they switched to Swalwell He's sitting on a chair in the studio. He's like alright Swalwell I'm just gonna let one rip here for second it bounces off the chair that's why you could hear it It was Matthews! Matthews dealt it Alright here's the problem with that uh...Swalwell paused Like he couldn't talk through the fart. No, no no He heard the fart and it scared him it was a blast what the hell did you just do someone's fart? Yeah I'm not gonna buy that because there's no real time here There's always a lag and the lag is long enough to know it. No I looked at that angle They have of they have a hardwired connection between the halls of Congress and the studios this almost zero lag

50:13 But it doesn't take away from the fact that there's no way you can get that direct a sound from flatulence in the halls of Congress with just a boom mic or even with a lavalier, but in a studio against the backdrop of a chair... I mean, especially if it's a leather chair or... Yeah but he's gonna be- Okay well it's up for debate. But so far it appears as though this actually this event was not a fake No this is a real event and they call old dudes like that an old fart for a reason come on! It's logical Old fart why isn't old farts? Because old guys fart! He was Matthews And I think its shameful that he didn't at least tweet and let Swalwell off the hook

51:03 Okay, and that's the fart gate. It didn't last long but man it was a nice break in the day wasn't it? It was a break! It was a nice little break What is the theory of fractals and what really is their importance? I can't tell you exactly, I can't explain the theory. I can kind of understand it before I can explain it Okay But its essentially that everything is self iterative in a way that all nature and this really refers mostly to nature It's self-iterative in a way that you could actually formulate a structure That is mathematically accurate because no one has ever been able There are all these things over time they say look

Fractal Theory, Mandelbrot and Fractal Antennas

The concept of fractals is explained as self-iterative mathematical structures found in nature, such as mountainsides. The discussion covers the transition from Mandelbrot "screensaver" designs to practical technology, specifically the fractal antennas used inside modern cell phones to eliminate the need for external stalks.

fractals· mandelbrot· fractal antenna· mathematics· nature

51:44 A mountainside, you take a look at it and crumble down. Say there's no math that can explain what you're looking at whereas mathematicians say you can explain everything with math and fractal theory says No! That is not true You can't explain that with math if you use fractal math If you look at the way fractals work you can actually explain these natural phenomena things in nature like a mountain With this modeling that this guy's developed and I mean what we think of as fractals in the computer business there because or there's Mandelbrot little designs that he makes where you get he has a few takes one of these formulas puts it in and It just starts to iterate and makes us really funky looking thing. Yeah, that's a screensaver you mean

52:33 Yes, that's a screensaver. This whole theory is based on a screen saver ladies and gentlemen I just want you to know that And you know essentially now that people are starting thinking in terms of fractals they for example the reason if you don't know this That's you know if you look at a cell phone or mobile phone from a few years ago it used to have an antenna some would come out All the antennas now are fractal antennas and they're inside the phone because you don't need an antenna when you have what essentially is a fractal antenna, which is a bunch of little things. Which comes down to the energy within the ether which I'm sure is a fractal...

53:13 Also has the same fractal properties and that's how maybe we're all connected or how everything starts to come together as we start to understand all of that wireless shit. I'm going really be sad when the new age people get a hold on this theory and they start to come up with their... crackpot analysis. But hold on, but when technologists get ahold of it and start to really understand it could be very exciting we can get some fantastic shit out of this. Well that's how we got the fractal antennae Right! That's exciting we improved text messaging that is a good job Wait a minute...that should be another 800 billion on bailout these stimulus package

53:56 But to come up with a good three sentence explanation of fractals I think it'd be valuable. I'm sure there's one out there and um, I don't have it. Wait! I am just recalling yes...yes It was around episode 200 okay? It was 202 as a matter fact Roy Pierce 1111 dollars uh and zero cents What?! Yeah. Wow! He came in as an instantite, asked listeners to watch the movie President's Analyst It was thought to be satire 45 years ago but turned out mostly true. Wow! Who is in this movie? I vaguely remember...I think this was with the guy who used to play our man Flint

54:43 I'm guessing. Take a look. I'm taking a look right now the president's analyst 1967 satirical this is from the book of knowledge Satirical comedy written by Theodore Flicker James Coburn, okay? That's a real yeah that's a real actor See in the films elements of political satire science fiction resembles many of the spice spruce that proliferated in the mid 60s In the wake of the James Bond phenomenon Yeah our man Flint Wow John will give you and yes, right Okay, the film's themes include modern ethics and privacy concerns specifically regarding the intrusion of the telecom system Working with the US government into the private lives of the country citizens.

propublica· lydia depillis· apple podcasts· censorship· free speech

55:36 uh... it'll go to a cold burn gets on your nurse disease he plays his character is justin well it's also the actually acting from the from this and that you're asking to add that's in its little little socialists sets are really bright no right okay anyway could know what that's our tip of the day Now let's look at some US clampdown that is taking place. We got Twitter, Twitter kicked off the President of the United States is making sure you can't post anything about vaccines or about variants or anything really political or medical he just kicked off I don't have a Facebook account but I think it's pretty much the same and we know what happened with Instagram

56:16 And this is really one place left that for some reason, you know they can't control. It's becoming very very annoying to those that control the speech ProPublica journalists I say that with emphasis Lydia DePillis wrote quite an article about the evilness of podcasting. That's what you and I do, yes? Yes podcasting because they can't control it there is no social control over what these damn podcasters are saying And this is a problem and Apple is not being cooperative. So how can it be that this kind of junk is allowed on Apple's podcast app, right? But not on Twitter or YouTube... What the difference here? Yeah well in America we have this policy where we allow tech platforms to make their own rules as to what content they will allow

57:06 What a crazy country! Can you believe that, John? We have these weird rules in America where we let people decide what they want to do. And not like China where this woman clearly takes her cues from or the government tells everybody we got rules and regs Yeah well in America we have this policy where we allow tech platforms to make their own rules as to what content they will allow And the thing with podcasts is that it's a little bit different in that, uh, company like Apple can say we just list podcasts. We essentially run a directory. We don't host them so that content is actually housed somewhere else but we allow people to access it through our platform

57:47 So there's a little bit of a dodge that they do there, but they do have Terms of Service that says here is what we will and won't allow. It's just very very loose And so a company like YouTube which is Google or Twitter has actually established pretty proactive policies on in terms of election misinformation Which Apple just simply doesn't do at all? Apple is not doing it right So, you know this is they're trying to go after Apple very very light touch because you know Cuz that's how these a-holes think but the worst part of this the worst part of this woman is what comes next

58:30 and i'll just say this woman, I say with disdain. Let's back up again give us who is this woman again? Lydia DePillis from ProPublica Oh pro publica person yes a pro publica person but they get a lot of air time the pro-publica people it's like a group of idealist journalists you remember that David Korn launched the whole peepee tape Russian collusion dossier on pro publica okay yeah okay all right I think that did it, that summarizes everything. So of all the things... Hold on! So we got another situation here where journalists are bitching and moaning about free speech? Are these the same journalists that

59:13 Journalists that don't like WikiLeaks because it reveals too many secret documents which they should be happy to see? Or are they the same ones as Slammin' Snowden or the same journalists, I'm thinking of Richard Engel in this case who doesn't want to see that released CIA torture memo. These types of people, so ProPublica is anti-journalists journalists. Nice! Good for them She's advocating for shutting down speech that she doesn't agree with That is her whole article and to say well Apple has a dodge here because they're just an indox but they have times and servers not following all that

Podcasting 2.0, Infrastructure for Alternative Media

The claim that alternative media infrastructure does not exist is challenged by the success of Podcasting 2.0 and the Podcast Index. Adam Curry is credited with recognizing the need for a decentralized directory to prevent the "future demise of podcasting" at the hands of tech giants like Apple, Google, and Amazon.

podcasting 2.0· podcast index· amazon web services· infrastructure· censorship

59:50 But what blows me away is this journalist who I'm going to presume is a technology journalist. What she says next, is the biggest pile of horse crap in the world. There's obviously been so much discussion particularly I think you're seeing it on the conservative side discussion about cancel culture de-platforming right where is free speech etc It seems like as you report and may just be a matter of time before there was a buildup of like alternative streaming universes ones that don't depend on these tech giants at all How hard is that though to actually start happening or how likely is it? Well at the moment, it's very difficult. The landscape of tech platforms at the moment is pretty consolidated in that most people consume content through

1:00:36 that are supported by companies like Amazon through its Amazon Web Services product or through Apple, through its iPhone or Google through it's browser. So in order to build up a tech ecosystem that is free of all those where you could broadcast whatever content you like then the kind of infrastructure doesn't really exist right now. are really straining under the weight of new traffic that they're receiving. So this under-informed, over socialized twat is telling us the infrastructure doesn't really exist to set up alternatives because you know you're really beholden to the App Store and Amazon Web Services

1:01:15 I challenge you to a debate, punk. This is nonsense! Look at us we are literally doing it- There are at least five major video sources out there now Thank You One of which is noagendatube.com No agenda tube which is...I wouldn't put in the top 5 but it's there And then there's the obviously the federated and other chat systems. And then there's things that signals like and telegraph, all these things are out there which people are condemning them to. How about podcastindex.org? Which is talking about podcasts... The Podcast Index by the way which is your baby you can toot your own horn but as far as I'm concerned I'll toot it this is the alternative of alternatives that will prevent

1:01:58 future demise of podcasting and it's something you recognized about a year or two ago, probably because of this show. Of course! And you decided to go ahead with this Podcasting 2.0 which has taken off quite nicely and eventually will be absorbed into this great system. She's full of crap! Go podcasting!! But I will say this, the pathetic thing is that she has a voice and people are asking her why is she even around? Well you know what...she is the new wave This is the same type of person who was at The New York Times

1:03:33 because she's going shopping and she feels obliged because maybe she is from the Midwest or Texas where she feels obliged to actually look presentable in public as opposed to wearing baggy ass crap and hair with gobs of goo like dog shit kind of in it. And you know, I'm just describing this scene so that he can get a feeling for it. I am smelling the dog shit! And so you see these women that come in, they're made up and they walk in and they take one look around. They stop like it like they hit a brick wall right at the entrance and they see him boom! They hit this brick wall and then they freeze and you see their eyes going back and forth and back and forth and they slowly walk backwards back into the parking lot never really wrong store I

1:04:19 Have seen going into a gay bar. It's like this isn't right Just can I my coat back There used to, this happened when I was in college or something. We were floating around doing bar hopping and there used to be this place that I realized it was a gay bar called Mike's Pool Hall and it was in San Francisco on the North Beach area. And we did that exact same thing. We walked in and just hit this brick wall because its like a whole like five hundred guys turn around looked at you it was like what of oops and we will slowly walk backwards okay so i'm at the monterey foods

1:05:02 And I'm trying to check out and there is... the line is held up because apparently, there was some kind of a middle-aged gray haired frumpy woman that was grousing because she had brought her canvas bags and they had mistakenly packed the vegetables into a sack of normal paper. Oh no! The horrors of it It was, it was... she had to stop the presses. They had to unpack- Let me see your supervisor! They had to unpack the paper bag as they repacked it into her beat up old dirty canvas bags that looked like they haven't been washed for like a year at least and you know so I realized that these you know there's this trend is actually died off a little bit

1:05:55 But there was a trend for awhile where it was cool to have a canvas bag that you drag to the store. And I know in Europe this is always promoted because they charge like a nickel for the bags there. Yeah, they do it at Sainsbury's Yeah, they do. Well, in all throughout France I know you have to pay for the bag and it's kind of like... It is very confusing that people aren't used to paying for a bag that costs like 0.11, no .0001 cents with the plastic but okay whatever anyway so there was this trend for awhile and people were having these... So everyone had these grimy old canvas bags which didn't really hold that much as a matter fact

Amy Klobuchar, 2020 Democratic Primary Debates

Amy Klobuchar's performance in the 2020 Democratic primary debates is mocked, specifically her "dropping a P" when saying "opponents" and her inability to remember the name of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly. Tom Steyer's "fake smile" and Bernie Sanders' habit of raising his hand like a schoolboy are also noted.

amy klobuchar· tom steyer· gretchen whitmer· democratic primary· political humor

1:06:36 And I don't know, it was just galling to me having her sit there while she was making all these demands on the staff. Imagine the base my favorite debater that I saved her clips for last. Amy Klobuchar, yes! I thought she was fantastic oh i love amy klobuchar yeah as a comedian let me tell you if-if I had to choose from any person on that stage I'd choose her well lets listen to couple things I got from her for one thing I've got a pretty good ISO it's even called the pretty good iso I think that sounds pretty good

1:07:14 Nah, that's our end of show right there. I'm putting it into the slot just in case. Alright here you know we like to talk about people dropping the tea? Oh yeah. This is an absolute beauty because i didn't know you could drop the tea with this word! My Republican opponents have gotten out of politics for good. Opponents?! What was that? She's trying to say opponent. My Republican opponents... Opponents?! She's dropping a P! She's dropping a P-anity! Opponent! My Republican opponents have gotten out of politics for good

1:07:55 Yeah under stress is people do make mistakes. Oh, she was shaking like a leaf and wasn't usual No wasn't as bad as it has been in the past It wasn't as best the first debate but it was for it was bad considering how many she's done As an eye twitcher and a Tourette suffer I it doesn't bother me. I think it makes her look interesting. So I think worse than that is still the schoolboy thing where Bernie's holding his hand up for the teacher to call on him like throughout the entire debate. Call on me, teacher! And then Tom Steyer by the way when he talks...

1:08:33 First of all, he has a fake smile at the beginning because I guess somebody told him hey Tom smile a little bit. So he puts on this fake stupid looking smile and then he goes right back into his dour look and then he rolls his head in a circle as he talks And it's clockwise and he's rolling his head in a circle as he talks and I'm watching whoa Here's Amy talking about her one of her friends whose name she can't remember. This is the big gaffe What what do you say to people who who say that a woman can't win this election? I hear that. When you look at the facts, Michigan has a woman governor right now and she beat a Republican, Gretchen Whitmer Kansas have the woman governor right now and she beat Chris Kobach And her name is...I'm very proud to know her and her name is Governor Kelly Thank You Her name is uh... But keep your eye on her

1:09:33 She's got something going. And by the way, she also has her lipstick on like it's a big square block of lipstick so she looks like kind of Nick Parkes character you know Wallace and Gromit just this funny look. Yeah well there ya go cheap Greek wine as long he doesn't you know did wine that used to be popular or not, but it was never really popular. It was just kind of a curiosity that the Greeks supposedly drank and even though I've never run into a Greek that liked this stuff which is Retsina

CHAPTER 29 / 191 Discussion

Retsina, Greek Resin Wine

John C. Dvorak describes Retsina, a Greek wine flavored with tree resin, as "the worst product in the world." He explains that the flavor originates from ancient times when resin was used to seal wine jugs, resulting in a taste similar to turpentine, yet he suggests everyone should try it once.

retsina· greek wine· tree resin· turpentine· wine tip

1:10:08 What's it called? Retsina. And I will not, last time I was in Greece so I always make sure to have a glass of the best retsina I can find which is like drinking uh... I don't know what it is, its the worst product in the world essentially what it is It just some sort of wine that harkens back to the Greco-Roman times when they, to seal the jugs of wine they used a tree resin as a cork. And so the tree resin, or they put a piece of block of wood in there and put some resin but there's resin involved and the resin would always leach into the wine and make it taste like tree resin So he was drinking a little bit like drinking turpentine It is just really one of the most gosh awful things in the world and that's what cheap Greek wine is. Just a little lecture for people who want more wine information

1:11:03 Now there's your wine tip of the day. Look for some Retsina, they do bring it in the United States You can buy it at a store that is very inexpensive like 5 bucks a bottle maybe 6 and you can try it Well sounds like something not to try actually Well you should have it once in your life It's so obvious now This is a complete destabilization of Europe and we're going to squash them like a bug, like a bug under a bomblet. Well FDEU as our friend Newland said... Oh goodness yeah If you go back to that and listen to this clip when we listened to the FDEU we start to understand what might actually be going on.

CHAPTER 30 / 191 Discussion

Victoria Nuland, Ukraine and the EU

The leaked 2014 phone call featuring Victoria Nuland is reviewed, highlighting her "Fuck the EU" comment and her direct involvement in selecting Ukrainian government officials like Arseniy Yatsenyuk. The hosts discuss the role of the UN and Ban Ki-moon in "gluing" the deal together while bypassing European interests.

victoria nuland· ukraine· fuck the eu· ban ki-moon· kiev

1:11:56 and Victoria Nuland was caught with, well was recorded at high quality. Very high quality by the Russians obviously! On a phone call where she was talking to her compatriot who I think was... Was he the ambassador at the time? Not sure ambassador but they were discussing you know oh we gotta put in ya Klitsch now Klitch is no good we got that guy in yeah we can have Biden come out here and bless the deal he'll kiss the babies it'll all be good Biden Biden And then it was like, well you know they're not going to like what we're doing the EU but and then she just said that fuck the EU. And there you have it with great disdain yes should we play that clip again? What do you think I think we're in play um we're playing The uh Klitschko piece is obviously the complicated electron here especially the announcement of him as deputy prime minister and you've seen some of my notes on

1:12:50 the troubles in the marriage right now. So we're trying to get a read really fast on where he is on... Listen to these terms they use! We're in play, yeah like we got a little trouble here on the marriage because they just did this it's like shotgun wedding when we were fusing everything together handing out cookies But I think your argument to him, which you'll need to make. That's the next phone call we want to set up is exactly the one you made to Yatsen. I'm glad... That's Yatsen Yuk who later did become Prime Minister for a moment. ...put him on the spot where he fits in this scenario and i'm very glad that he said what he said in response

1:13:26 Oh, we should also mention that Klitschko is currently the mayor of Kiev. Good! So I don't think Klitschko should go into the government. I don't think it's necessary and it's a good idea Yeah so just make it not happen That's how democratically elected countries work Victoria Nuland says I don't think he should go in and he doesn't He's not agreeing by the way You think, in terms of him not going into the government just let him sort of stay out and do his political homework and stuff. I'm just thinking in terms of sort of the process moving ahead we want to keep the moderate Democrats together The problem is gonna be Tony Bok and his guys No Tony Bok And you know I am sure that's part of what Yanukovych is calculating on all this

1:14:17 Yanukovych was, was that the guy they were putting in or the guy who's going out? I can't remember where Yanukovych is. I think it was the guy who's going out. I think Yats is the guy whose got the economic experience and governing experience he's you know what he needs is a cleach and tonny book on the outside He need to be talking to them four times a week Yeah she now actually not just putting people into government but arranging their agenda doing their calendar for them. This is the democratic country that we're saving for, democracy!

1:14:57 I just think Kleech going in, he's gonna be at that level working for Yatsenuk. It's just not gonna work. No, not gonna work. What do you think John? Not gonna work. I think just now... Let him give us political homework on the outside. Good! Would you want us to try and set up a call with him as your next step? My understanding from that call, but you tell me was that the big three were going into their own meeting and that Yats was gonna offer in that context a 3 plus 1 conversation or 3 plus 2 with you. Is that not how you understood it? No, I think...I mean that's what he proposed. But I think just knowing the dynamic that has been with them where Klitschko has been a top dog He is going to take awhile to show up for whatever meeting they've got and he is probably talking to his guys at this point so I think you reaching out directly to him helps with personality management among the three This is literally how we used to pitch like, you know, Gillette

1:15:54 Alright, you talk to your guy and I'll talk to my guy and you work him from the back end. We'll get the big three or maybe 3 plus 2 we will get them into a meeting, we will pitch them with the powerpoint and then it will be good to go! And it gives us also a chance to move fast on all this stuff and put us behind it behind it before they all sit down and he... Oh yeah, let's move fast before they figure out how we've hoodwinked them. He explains why he doesn't like it This is good to review I can see there are trolls who have never heard this recording Well this was in 2014 so its a bit..its like 9 years ago It is Okay, good. I'm happy why don't you reach out to him and see if he wants to talk before or after? All right how do we put a bow about this Vicky how do we wrap this all up? Thanks okay i've now written oh one more wrinkle for you Jeff. Oh wrinkle wrinkle stand by Jeff! I got a wrinkle yeah

1:16:47 I can't remember if i told you this or if only told Washington this. Yeah, because you know your not in the loop on everything Jeff just so you know When I talked to Jeff Feltman this morning he had a new name for the UN guy Robert Sary did I write that this morning? yeah I saw that He's now gotten both Sari and Ban Ki-moon to agree that Sari could come in Monday or Tuesday. Oh, that's right! They had Ban Ki-moon in on the deal The Secretary General of the UN said you know we'll bless the deal Ban Ki-moon will come in That guy is half dead anyway Just... they didn't even speak English just let him mumble Okay So that would be great I think to help glue this thing and have the UN help glue it. Yeah, have the UN help glue it because thats whats good! Glue...glue it And you know fuck the EU. Yeah! There is goes. Exactly and we've got do something to make it stick together. Exactly Now lets just go back for a second so she's saying

1:17:41 We'll have the UN glue it because clearly the United European Union is like, what are you guys doing in our backyard? This is not so cool. So we're going to have this thing glued for the whole world and fuck you! Fuck you EU! Answer if I only told Washington this that when I talked to Jeff Feltman... Wait wait wait which she said fuck the EU I think she was specifically saying we're gonna have the UN do it and fuck EU meaning we're by we're skipping them but they're in anything that they have to say about it yeah cuz the a UN greater than sign you know agenda your no agenda show has the has receipts people

Credit Card Perks, NBC Native Advertising

An NBC News segment on credit card benefits is identified as a "native ad" for American Express. The hosts criticize the segment for using a "super scared" woman in a likely reenactment to promote roadside assistance and purchase protection, labeling it as a form of "fake news" designed to promote a cashless society.

american express· nbc news· native advertising· credit card benefits· fake news

1:18:23 You know, this is so scandalous and it was played by it was played up zero by the media Well she used an expletive on a call you know So we can't play the expletive because she said a bad word. It's not about that people listen to what they're doing What they did they did it I? Did catch a I can't say it's native ad, but I think it is native advertising for credit cards. But also has all these sub... There's a lot of subtext involved again NBC and this is about just kind of a rundown of the benefits of credit card usage. This will be my Dvorak tip for the day because there's a lot of good information in here but as I've had mixed feelings about running cause I believed that was a native ad to begin with and then I don't know what the purpose was

1:19:13 Kind of promoting the cashless society, which I don't like but I thought there was a lot of good information in this in this Particular native ad on NBC. All right Which I didn't realize they did but all right everybody stand by right after this clip it will be time for Dvorak's tip of the day This is the tip of the day Here's what you might call the hidden power of plastic perks and benefits a lot of credit card holders holders don't even know they have ways to get refunds, get services without any charges saving you money in the process. NBC's JoLynn Kent explains As you use your credit card this holiday season You should know it may have hidden benefits that can save you big money in a pinch I was super scared and didn't know what to do When Lauren Bergman's car broke down she called the number on her American Express card as a last resort

1:20:06 The company sent a tow truck free of charge. I never in a million years would have imagined that my credit card could do all the things that it could do and that they would be my saving grace And when Bergman dropped and shattered her iPhone after her Apple warranty was up, her car gave her 100% refund Many popular credit cards offer these kinds little known benefits According to a recent survey, 81% offer extended warranties. 57% provide purchase protection like reimbursing you for items that are lost stolen or damaged 47% give price protection refunding the difference if the price drops on an item within four months after purchase

1:20:45 and 26% guarantee returns even when stores don't. You could be missing out on hundreds of dollars a year in extra benefits from your credit card company, everything from roadside assistance to paying for your hotel if you miss your flight due to weather-related travel concerns But they don't cover everything They usually exclude cars jewelry medical equipment and computer software At the end the day you never know when it could really help you out Experts say call or check online to discover the perks that may be hiding in plain sight. Joleen Kent, NBC News New York. NBC's version of fake news because that woman who was super scared and she realized she gets a free tow, she could call it tow truck herself but she gets a free to from American Express. They showed her on the phone in her car they showed the tow truck coming in and then they showed her happy as a clam as the tow truck took her car off. Yeah I would say that's native ad for sure

1:22:00 It was a native and that was fake news. There was no way this woman had a camera crew with her when her car broke down, she was so super scared So what was that? That was a reenactment it did not say reenactment at the bottom of the screen They should just use one of our jingles Which one? And you choose which one you want we got tons of them Fake news? We got tons of fake news. We've got anything you want. Hey, hey, hey! You read that? That's right everybody use your hammocks it's got big news on it anyway I just thought I'd throw that out there as a tip more importantly you bought a pig

CHAPTER 32 / 191 Discussion

Buying a Pig, Future Farmers of America Auction

An anecdote is shared about purchasing a pig named Rosie at a Future Farmers of America (FFA) auction at the Alameda County Fair. The host explains the tax write-off benefits of paying over market price for livestock and describes the "horrible" experience of taking a pet pig from a crying 11-year-old girl to be processed by a Portuguese butcher in Manteca.

future farmers of america· 4-h· alameda county fair· pig auction· linguiça

1:22:44 Yeah, we had a... well I've gotten uh... yeah we bought a pig to eat. Yeah? I'd like to hear the story about the pig you bought to eat. Did you and Michael Butler bought a pig? We split a pig, yeah. You split a pig. So how does this process go where do you do you go to the pig market? The Pig Store? No no, we bough this from Future Farmers of America auction at the Alameda County Fair. Do they have a website? Is it online or you just go there? No! You have to go to the auction And you see the pig and you look tasty is that how it works Well, Butler's approach was low bid, low ball every pig that came up until one got through. He didn't really want to buy the pig is what you're saying? No no he wanted to buy the pig but he was real strict on what he's going to pay and even though it's like a tax write off and there are bunch of advantages... What?! Wait a minute buying a pig as a tax write off? Well if you buy a pig at an auction for Future Farmers of America or 4-H at a county fair and you pay 1 cent over the market price

1:23:40 hogs and then at that point, which you will because these pigs are not cheap. You get to write off that money as a charitable contribution because the money goes to the kids who get to... It helps them in college so they can go to school. Wait what kids? The kids who raise the pigs! You took a pig from a kid?! Yeah, and apparently the kid was in tears. Oh no! And Martina was there, Butler's daughter and she says that she doesn't know if she can eat the pig named Rosie. Butler on the other hand got a picture with the pig... By the way, the pig is delicious So, uh... so Butler got it and the kid apparently they all do this you have to kind of I guess tolerate it. The kid a little 11 year old girl Oh no! She's in tears It was her pet pig and you told that you took the pig and ate it? Yes

1:24:35 You're such a horrible man! You should go back and... You should go back to the kid and say, here you want some bacon from your pet pig? He apologized to her but she was raised- The pig was raised to be eaten not to be hanging around the house. So uh I just like... You're mean old man I wasn't there! You're a horrible man. It was Butler who's the mean old man Hey kid, your pig looks delicious Butler wants to take pictures with the pig He wants to know the name of the pig So anyway we went out and went to the butcher A great butcher out in Manteca Wait wait can i ask you? I need to understand the process so you had the pig and the pig is at this point alive

1:25:15 Yes! So the pig is like, squidy-squiddy-squiddy-squiddy. And you take... So there's a kid crying over here. Yeah? There's Butler doing Facebook pictures with the pig and yeah and you're taking the pig to a great butcher Oh the butchers fantastic okay yeah so anyway It's a good, it's a Portuguese butcher and they actually make a linguiça just at the shop. You're gonna have to go there to get it So anyway yeah so he bought a pig and uh And there was all this process I'm going to write a little paper on this and sell it Is he doing a meet up in Yellowstone? That's what he wants to know My wife has always been wanting to go and would love to meet him She has a crush on him from the MTV days

MTV Days, Adam Curry's Hair and Glasses

The hosts engage in banter about Adam Curry's appearance during his MTV years. John C. Dvorak teases Curry about his "ludicrous" hair and "avant-garde" glasses, while Curry defends his style and insists his hair was never a wig.

CHAPTER 34 / 191 Discussion

Republic of Lies, Conspiracy Theory Coverage

The book "Republic of Lies" by Anna Merlin is discussed for its thesis on the rise of conspiracy theories in America. The hosts mock the idea that disinformation flows directly from InfoWars to the President and criticize the author's "up-talking" and focus on right-wing conspiracies while ignoring left-wing ones.

anna merlin· republic of lies· infowars· fox news· disinformation

1:26:44 Here's another big story. This is the one on conspiracies Even apocalyptic we all crave explanations for things We don't understand so some of us fill in the blanks with conspiracy theories We dug into that with Anna Merlin author of Republic of lies American conspiracy theorists and their surprising rise to power Hey, how come we weren't interviewed? What the hell is that there's a whole book American conspiracy theorist did you get a call Did you get an email memo nothing it used to be that far-right conspiracy theories went from fringe sites some of them actual disinformation sites to Eventually places like Fox News and that's sort of where they stopped And now they have another stop which is they go from Fox News To the president or from fringe sites like Infowars straight to the president Again we're being snubbed hello

1:27:36 Hello, Crackpot here! I'd like my props. And this problem continues to get worse and worse... What is the logical extension of all of this? Oh, THIS is so good John. What do you think's really happening in the world when it comes from InfoWars straight to the President? Out-Of-Control Tinfoil Hattery So one thesis is that especially state-backed disinformation sources like the ones we've seen in Russia, like the Internet Research Agency. That one of their goals is to make the information ecosystem so chaotic and so unstable and so unreliable that people start believing that the actual objective truth is not knowable and they should stop looking for it. Oh! Success!

1:28:29 Wow leave this yeah, no conspiracies by the way only right wing. There's never been a left-wing conspiracy door They're all right wing wait stop for that one just out of it Just definitely clip of the day And she up talks through this whole thing, the right wing and it all culminated in Fox News. That's right! And the other route is from InfoWars direct to the president Alex Jones hotlined to Trump.

A listener-produced jingle titled "The War on Chicken" is played, followed by a parody of "Santa Baby" used for the show's knighting ceremony. The hosts discuss the creative contributions of their audience and the "regular donor" culture of the program.

2015 Beaujolais, Wine Quality Tip

A wine tip is provided regarding the 2015 Beaujolais vintage, which experts consider the best since the 1940s. John C. Dvorak recommends looking for "Cru Beaujolais" from specific towns like Fleurie or Morgon, noting that even the inexpensive bottles from this year are of exceptional quality.

beaujolais· cru beaujolais· 2015 vintage· wine tip· fleurie

1:32:05 If you can, you want to get a crew Beaujolais. It's called crew Beaujolais. You look up... C-R-U? C-R-U Crew? Yes, CRU Beaujolais and then those are the townies like Fleurie, Brouilly, Morgon there is bunch of them and they're all listed in Google. You can type that into Google and you'll get a wiki page that lists them off. Those are better. You want Beaujolais Village it's kind of the lowest quality you can get but The point is 2015, many of the Beaujolais experts believe that 2015 Beaujolais are the best since the 1940s. And I have had expensive ones, I've had cheap ones every...2015 Beaujolais they've had from cheap to very expensive. Very expensive one's are outrageous!

CHAPTER 37 / 191 Discussion

Mass Formation Psychosis, AP Fact Check

Reuters and the Associated Press are criticized for fact-checking the term "mass formation psychosis." The hosts argue that the media's aggressive denial of the phenomenon—claiming it is not an academic term—is actually evidence that the psychological state exists among the public.

mass formation psychosis· reuters· associated press· pfizer· fact-checking

1:33:02 Tip of the day. We always have a tip on this show, you always learn something new. And I would like to remind everybody today is day number 666 of our 14 days to flatten the curve. Damn it, I screwed it up! You had it... But it IS Day 666! That figures So this has got to be one of those big ones and on this very important day It's a devilish scam We receive the following headline which just made my day There is no evidence of pandemic mass formation psychosis according to Reuters and The Associated Press They would know. What the hell? That's actually, by the way that for them to say that is a sign that it exists It has to be!

1:33:50 The full quote mass formation psychosis is not an academic... Who wrote this? There's no such thing as the Associated Press saying anything. Okay, someone at the Associated Press said it on behalf of the Associated Press? Yes and I'm... Was that approved by the board of directors what what's the deal well I believe so seeing as well Reuters in the Associated Press and we know that there's some Pfizer folks over at Reuters they've both independently reported that But this was a, as you point out it was a they pulled it together the full headline is mass formation psychosis is not an academic term recognized in the field of psychology nor is there evidence of any such phenomenon occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple experts in crowd psychology have told Reuters and The Associated Press so that's how they do it

1:34:43 And then the AP fact check. Mass formation psychosis, an unfounded theory spreading online suggests millions of people have been hypnotized into believing mainstream ideas to combat COVID-19.

Airplane Peanut Etiquette, Fisting Nuts

A host describes a "nasty" habit observed on airplanes where passengers shake a fistful of peanuts to eat them one by one. The description, jokingly referred to as "fisting," is presented as a highly annoying social behavior that the host and his wife frequently mock while traveling.

1:35:30 I see this on the airplane and it's very annoying, and i think it will result in fights breaking out. Because its just so annoying to watch! Guy takes his bag of peanuts... And he throws a pile of them into the palm of his hand.. Then he makes a fist around the nuts. Then he shakes his fist trying to bring a nut through the little hole- STOP!! Stop. And then he throws a nut in his mouth from his fist and he does it again, he shakes and throws and shakes and throws. It is annoying as hell to watch! Oh my gosh, it just needed porn music. Your description is fabulous I gotta produce that there is there is the that part of it You can look at all these things as obscene But that's exactly what you see this guy shaking his fist and popping a peanut It's nasty. It's nasty. Sorry. I agree. It's nasty And whenever Tina and I are flying we look at each other like I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna fist him I'm fisting

Shantytowns and Favelas, California Homelessness Solutions

A controversial solution to California's homelessness crisis is proposed: designating specific areas for "shantytowns" similar to Brazilian favelas. The discussion covers the need for basic infrastructure like water trucks and the reality of existing "homeless camping" that lacks formal organization or sanitation.

shantytown· favela· homelessness· california· open sewer

1:36:31 I'm fisting. You know the shantytown thing did come up in the conversation and i'm of the opinion that you're just gonna have to bite the bullet in these towns, these liberal towns and let a shanty town crop up it goes on in South America... I don't like your idea I know you don't, nobody does. But it's the most realistic thing you can do is just be honest about it. You have shanty towns in multiple cities in California and it hasn't produced any... Where? There's no real true shantytown Every street corner! No that's not a shantytown Well okay how many- That's just a bunch of people hanging around and y'know hanging out with tents Yeah Okay No no I'm talking about camping

1:37:23 which is what they call it now, homeless camping. Yeah yeah you're not homeless you just camping oh yeah just people camping yeah uh no i'm talking about you get a couple of acres you put some acres together in an area that's really someplace you can get water to usually a water truck that would work bring it in once in a while and everyone have their own buckets and let them let you build little lean-tos Well, have its own government is where it's like in Brazil and the favelas. They have their own governments But that's my point is the favelas are a huge issue

1:38:04 Yeah, also with shantytowns. But this is I don't see any other solution. They can seem to address the problem correctly so you might as well just let it fall into third world style. It works outside of Africa there's all those little towns in Africa that has little shanty towns outside the cities most are they all South America? There used to be Romani encampments all over Europe and similar to a shantytown only they move I mean you can't do anything about it because they're not doing anything about it. Well, go to a fallback position So what you're saying is designate an area where the shantytown can prosper? You make it sound like this as joke No! That's exactly what you are saying A designated place This is not your idea alone People are saying hey make a designated camping ground Yeah well that should be a shanty town A camping ground is no good

1:39:05 Those tents are no good. You want a shanty town, you want the kind of thing that people can go and do reports about. Oh look at these people they're living like horrible! And then they show that there's this open sewer? Okay, you have to design these things. Scott Adams has got something like this but he's more not gonna be my thinking. You wanna an open sewer so you can be a guest in the open sewer and the turd going down the sewer is just open You want kids that are half naked, wandering around you all dirty. Barefoot barefoot. Playing with a rusty can? Lots of dogs barking at everything. We had it we had a quasi shantytown here in the East Bay over on the Bulb was called

1:40:00 An old ex-garbage dump that's over by Golden Gate Fields in Albany. There was this big area that was in the very far reaches of this, it's like a peninsula that is built of garbage dumps from the 20s and 30s so its green now and they got trees and everything growing on it but there was huge shanty town out there a genuine one. You couldn't even go out to it because there's too many pit bulls, you know guarding the place but it was a shanty town and they let it go for years and years and they finally went in the middle of the night tore down. We'll go back to what else we need in this shantytown I was kind of enjoying it. We were at Barefoot Children playing with open sewers lot of lean-to's and now there is people who are leaning to's yes very good left over gout that kinda stuff that you make for

Open fires burn barrels everywhere especially in the winter I'm the dentist that took the heat for suggesting oral cancer is on the rise. Horrible and from HPV virus and oral sex, this letter we didn't read. I don't remember this

1:41:24 I'm done stewing and would like to congratulate both of you for the thousand shows. Okay, it will be good to even after I read this. So I've been learned a lot and laughed a lot thanks. I read John's one page editorials at PC Magazine going back to my days in college. I saw the TV show and The Tech Grouch all great stuff. Oh, Tech Grouch? You and two other people watched The Tech Grouch! When I heard he was on a podcast and Jerry Purnell was there too, I had to listen to Leo guy made... He's kind of complaining here about Leo. Then I found out about Noah Jenner when MTV started out with studying physics. I would put it as background music and thought who would ever want to watch music videos? Then one day I saw the video by Robert Palmer, Simply Irresistible.

1:42:09 So there was this guy as a sidekick with JD, Adam Curry. Never heard of him but listening to him was interesting I miss his treaties on aliens on earth and moon bases those shape-shifting Jews are space goers too being Jewish myself i can attest to it! There is a shapeshifter! Welcome! As the episodes went by, Atlas set the hook and John had baited. I'm now an instantite in a mini baron it sounds better. I'd like some jobs karma Obamacare has been great for America but as small business owner its gutted the profit from my business.

1:46:32 100 bucks? Because you don't want to own one. And so she's been buying a bunch of these when she sees them, she doesn't buy every one but she bought a number of them for like $100 and we do a little research afterwards and the original price for the coat was like 8 grand in 1930 Oh yeah! In 1930 it was eight grand?! Holy crap that might as well have been 80 thousand if not more So now these coats will be more valuable unless they can maintain this hatred of dead animal fur. But people out there on the lookout, you should go check this out in certain parts of the country are going to get these very expensive coats for next-to-nothing on Craigslist. Your tip of the day!

Craigslist Mink Coat Investment Strategy

A host describes his wife's long-term strategy of purchasing vintage mink coats on Craigslist for approximately $100. These items, often originally valued at $8,000 in the 1930s, are viewed as high-value assets acquired for minimal cost due to current social stigmas against fur.

It was a whole day on how to write a memo which seems that stupid day off but no To this day, I can write some of the greatest memos you've ever read. Outside of government writer who's also been trained in writing memos... This woman did not know how to write this memo properly that she sent out her email should have been written in the form of a memo and should have had all the disclaimers at the beginning about how great the vaccination is and how we're not trying to do anything She could have had the whole thing put together in a package In such a way that she would never gotten any kickback whatsoever

1:53:00 In fact, she would have. But would she have achieved anything? Yes! She would've been able to continue with this idea of filling the VARS database and what would've happened that it'd be even better if it was done correctly It would've gone out like a virus and hit all the other hospitals so none of the hospitals would've shown any indication of reporting more or less than average Ah right right right... It could've worked out but Because she was panicking. No, no it's because she wasn't thinking about the organization She was only thinking about patients. She didn't think about... She wasn't thinking right. Well no! It's not thinking right. It is very endearing lady You can still get the job done

1:53:39 You can still get the job done within these large organizations correctly and not get the blowback that she got in and end up with a tit in her ringer. Is there some other tips or are there some tips you can give the producers when it comes to important memo writing? Well, yeah one of the main things about memo writing is always open the memo for one thing they have to be formally formatted as a memo... And is that a template in Word? I never saw one, but there might be. Okay, I'm just saying this is exit strategy time! There should be a no agenda memo template My only tip is going to be the following... The opening of all memos have to have to be extremely complimentary and kind of a rundown on how great everything is Oh really? Yeah you open up with how fabulous everything is And it's usually short three sentence paragraph maybe two

1:54:32 And then from there you go on to your grousing. The only memos I ever wrote started like this, To memorialize our conversations... That's the boss CYA note! To memorialize our conversation where I told you would no longer be reporting into the VAERS database Actually technically a CYA note is which i've done in fact they got saved my job once from doing one and it was an on accident okay do tell A CYA note is to constantly be pointing out stuff in writing, issues that you have with something doesn't work or something that you didn't get any feedback from someone. Just little bitty things and you put a string of those out asking for help and what happened to me once was that

1:55:27 I was not some product that was inspecting it when i was an inspector at trailmobile wasn't going out improperly and because it couldn't be fixed, it was unfixable. The design of this product made for Pacific or East or some company... It was a cargo container that's made out of fiberglass that just wasn't gonna work And I wrote, immediately sent some notes in about it and I never got any feedback. It went on for months until the final inspectors started catching these things and I got called to the carpet for this, these things being... Ah you had your memos? I had my, well I said look at this! Yeah I have my memos and then boom I was back on the job. Presto! It was instant. Somebody else got fired out of course someone bit the bullet for that one Oh My

After I found this online guy who's a battery nut, who turned me on to all max and fuji batteries which is the ones I order now although all max are harder to find but fujis have always been around because every time I buy those dura cells from Costco

2:04:29 I'd put them in some device or other, come back a month later and they're in there. They're exploded. They have to clean out the goo that's in there. It's a mess. Those batteries are garbage.

They go into something...they burst inside product and you have to clean out the mess and hopefully can still get a good connection. I've never had an all max battery do that ever. For years. All Max? A-L-L-M-A-C-S? No, A-L-L-M-A-X. All Max! Never heard of the product... Do you have a couple points of that?

2:05:09 I wish. Allmax, okay! Allmax from now on is the battery of the Noah Jenders show.

2:18:23 Texas tea. I was looking into this by the way and the best oil in the world in terms of like pure, it's like you pump it out is basically diesel fuel you can put it in a truck. Where's that? Algerian Saharan crude. It's got almost no sulfur, almost no sulfur and the API which is the measure of the viscosity basically. The higher the number the better is the highest and it sounds like this very similar to me reminds me when I was in air pollution inspector in refineries or my thing

Senator Dick Durbin is criticized for labeling Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham as "anti-vax quacks" during a Senate session. The hosts argue that the term "quack" is being weaponized by the pharmaceutical industry against those who question policy. They also highlight a verbal slip by Durbin where he claimed "millions have died by this vaccine."

dick durbin· tucker carlson· laura ingraham· vaccines· big pharma

2:20:06 that can only be characterized as anti-vax quacks. I'm referring of course to Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham." And i appreciate him using the official no agenda pronunciation of Laura Ingraham. That does give me... Now a couple, one thing A quack technically refers to a doctor it's always a doctor you're not a quack You could be a crackpot or a nutball or number of things but your'e not a quack Quack is a doctor that is a bad doctor. Well the reason that, that is used as we've discussed a couple months ago back when the allopath came in and medicine was taken over by the Rockefellers and they were trying to cure cancer after that they were looking to cure cancer there were cancer cures certainly the one that is still operating in Mexico and those who are branded by Big Pharma I'll just put it that way as quacks

2:21:01 So they're just rolling out the same script when you're against big pharma not against medicine or against certain policy Then you're a quack. You see so it's the pharma industry who wrote this for him That's the way I deconstructed that's an interpretation. I just think it pointing it out that Durbin's full of shit But yeah, it's interesting that they would do this This is the Congress of the United States bitching about a talk show host Mm-hmm. That is really low end wait for it I'm referring of course to Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham. They have been spreading what i consider to be irresponsible information about vaccines across America, and about the effort of this nation to deal with them Here's the reality

2:21:47 We have millions who've died across the world by this vaccine. We may never have an accurate count." This is just nothing like it! This is the best one I've ever gotten, did you hear it? No say it again oh the switcheroo there's a switcheroo. Here's the reality we have millions who've died across the world by this vaccine and we may never have an accurate count That is the that's top the top of the list. That is number uno, you can't get any better truth wants to come out This is no longer a coincidence that this happens He's reading a piece of paper We have hundreds of thousands who have died in the United States And now it has said repeatedly but those who are headed to the hospital with the most serious strains of kovat 19 99 point five percent of them were not vaccinated so

2:22:41 The facts are obvious here. We don't know this, where's that number come from? No that's the talking point number and as witness... Can I stop you for a second and bring up the talking point number? Uh oh! Now you can't bring up the talking point because then they shut you down immediately no talking points for you Oh my god that was crazy So yeah, there are all unvaccinated. Wait wait wait stop John! Stop stop stop! Complete... The minute you said I'm bringing up the talking point right away you cut off and i'm leaving that in the show this time because i'm sick of those guys doing it to us could you pick it up from the talking point? The talking points stems from Fauci who when asked about the deaths he did a roundabout He did some screwy thing where he says 99.5% of all people who died of COVID were unvaccinated

2:23:29 And he said this recently, but he's referring to the total number of people. The 500,000 because recently not too many people have died vaccinated or unvaccinated it's just a fact. Oh you mean since the beginning of the pandemic that many people have died on vaccine because there was no vaccine? Yeah. He's counting that as part of it? That was the whole scam, it was a scam comment and now Dick Durbin is bringing that number in as though today... I've rethought my position on Mike Johnson and I have two clips. Now what was your original position

Etymology of the Word Nerd and Dr. Seuss

A host recounts his research into the etymology of the word "nerd," tracing its first recorded use to Dr. Seuss's 1950 book "If I Ran the Zoo." He describes confirming this with Seuss's estate and expresses disappointment that a "nerd" exhibit was missing from the Dr. Seuss section at Universal Studios Orlando.

nerd· dr. seuss· etymology· if i ran the zoo· universal studios

2:28:29 I'm haunting dreams. Believe me, it's not that easy. You are so right. You make a note on it? Noted, noted, noted. Dirty Saudi Arabian fiat money. Get some Saudi gold! Well, he says he could send silver. Oh, see you can mail the gold but it's kind of heavy. Yeah and we thank them for the treasure The producer that turned me on and now you. The No Agenda show has producers in every section! We have unbelievable producers Yes we do Does she listen to the show? I don't think she listens, maybe dominatrix types don't like the show But the white girl can't NO! Well it's not even a color thing...I don't think

2:29:35 You do the accounting, we don't do it. because I was kind of annoyed by the word nerd. Okay, and so and no one had ever done an entomology of the word And yeah, they did but they were all lame and they're all guessing it was almost like you know that again The 12 year old saying I think it came from here. I think he came from there right? Yeah, and they were getting it from nair do well Which made no sense to me whatsoever So I started doing as much research as I could and I finally tracked it down and then I checked with

2:30:20 with Dr. Seuss from the White House literally and it came from a 1950s book if I ran the zoo that's the first use of the word nerd and no, I could find no pre-dating since night from 1950 I couldn't find anything in the 40s 30s have anyone ever using the word it began usage with this character And there was a little bitty nerdy looking guy So it made nothing but sense to me that this was with the etymology. So it's a made up word, made up by Dr Seuss? Yeah! Cool! It was made up by Dr Seus as a nerd and so I confirmed it with Seuss and his assistant and Geises is his name, can't remember his first name, the writer... And he was pretty old then but

2:31:09 He made it up and he didn't realize that it was the formation of the word nerd. I wrote all this history out, so then... So I thought it was kind of cool that I found out the origins of this word and then kinda kicker to the story is I went to Universal Studios Park in Orlando and they had a If I Ran The Zoo exhibit. The nerd was not in it. And so you complained bitterly no doubt I've always wondered when, you know when we go out to dinner all these these classy restaurants are just wanting together do we look like like your my like where your my gay sugar daddy? You know i don't think so. Yeah pretty sure because you can tell I mean for one thing with I don't think would give off any

San Francisco Social Dynamics and Gaydar Banter

The hosts joke about how they are perceived by outsiders when dining together in San Francisco. They discuss whether their shared interests in gadgets and fine wine would register on "Gaydar," concluding that the city's culture makes such distinctions irrelevant to most observers.

san francisco· social perception· wine culture· gadgets· humor

2:32:00 any gay vibe. I do and the other thing is, i don't think anyone in San Francisco notices one way or the other cares because there's a lot of true I don't look like, well since you're picking up the tab. You know? It kind of proves that i'm not. But you are refining me in life and showing which wine to drink so that I can culture myself, cultivate myself Yeah but I never really do that we just buy the wine and drink it It's not like you ever explain anything. I'm just wondering... What are you explaining all the time? We're always talking, uh... No it's mostly that i'm giving you the ridiculous anecdotal material about this wine and where it came from. Yeah well exactly! But that's different than what you would do if you were trying to get somebody up-to-speed on their palate. Yeah but from a distance y'know and then we're always talking about our gadgets

2:33:02 I think there's a lot of gayness to us, John. I'm sorry! It's just as an outsider... I think we would actually register on Gaydar. At least we're in the right neighborhood for it. Yeah that's true Another thing that is kind of interesting if you can ever find a- We did make a clip of Eliza the comedian and her comment about It's okay to be harassed if a guy is good looking. Elijah Schlesinger. Eliza? Eliza, yeah. Eliza something like that I can't remember her first name but there was an incident took place after the show where we have a quarterback on the San Francisco 49ers football team who is he's like a Clooney-esque good looking guy tall dark and handsome big smile

CHAPTER 72 / 191 Discussion

Jimmy Garoppolo Sexual Harassment Double Standard

The discussion focuses on an incident where 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo called a sideline reporter "baby." The hosts argue there is a double standard in sexual harassment claims based on physical attractiveness, referencing a comedy bit by Eliza Schlesinger about how flirting is only considered harassment when the man is unattractive.

jimmy garoppolo· san francisco 49ers· sexual harassment· eliza schlesinger· double standard

2:33:45 womanizing type and he says to one of the sideline reporters, he calls her baby. And she just like turns red and she's all flustered by it and tweeters are going crazy about this but of course nobody calls him out for sexual harassment. Who did this? Who said this? This was Jimmy Garoppolo, the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. Who's by all definitions is a good looking tall dark and handsome quarterback for the football team of football guy. And it would have been called out under any other circumstances except for the fact that he's good looking and brings back the old Liza Schlesinger bit where you know it's okay to be sexually harassed if the guys attractive

2:34:32 I wish every time it happens. It always irks me. I wish I could find that cuz I know you had it but either have her name wrong or You spelled it wrong. I probably put Liza Yeah, but I get a million clips with Elizabeth Warren. Oh Maybe it's Eli's right like yeah which doesn't help with the Elizabeth That's a shame I got what's this oh Being sexually harassed is the worst. I'm sorry, this is it let me rephrase that being sexually harassed by an ugly guy if he's hot it's just plain old flirting no one has ever been like get away from me you model and that's fine That's one of her best It's so true

Amsterdam Bulletin Board System Pornography History

A host recalls a trip to the Netherlands in the early 1990s where he visited a home-based server farm in Rotterdam. The facility was used to produce and distribute pornography via Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) before the mainstream internet era, noting the nonchalant attitude toward the business in Dutch society.

Microsoft Early Era Coder Benefits and Brothels

An anecdotal report claims that during the early 1980s in Bellevue, Microsoft maintained an open account with a local brothel to provide services for lonely coders. The segment describes the campus culture of the era, where employees had private offices and often slept on-site to continue working on software.

2:40:07 with the tip of the day. He's gonna tell us what he would do in every possible way." Now this is all alleged, Microsoft had an account they were big with hookers in the early days to the point where they had a an account with some and this was in the era when there was a lot of hookers and then an account at And I would say what this era was is probably, I'm trying to put the years on it. I'm going to say it's probably early 80s

2:40:46 Bush presidency when they were still in Bellevue is all I can say for sure. All right, and They had a just an open account And it and this is when Microsoft everyone had their own private offices Everybody at a private office of Microsoft's we visited the campus In the early days there was nobody It wasn't one of these open-air things or wherever felt like a drone? It was everyone has every code everyone who works there where every day you get a private officer close the door unlock it And you could have a bed in there if you wanted to, if you wanted to spend the night. Because a lot of coders liked to do that they just stay there and it was very common in the early days and so we had open account with a whorehouse and then go on to the bill I don't know what the petty cash I have no idea how they wrote this off but any coder that was lonely could get some girl to come over

2:41:39 and to keep him at the place coding. Wow! What a great place to work? Yeah, but it had to be dynamite that's what he could take your cut and pay to work there because there are benefits that are little more than the free lunch at Google Well congratulations for getting this far Yes you too my good sir Thanks Not bad at all I think we've had a good run.

2:45:44 A skeptic to the very end With truth he would not hide A tech mind far ahead, a lover of a vintage pour He taught us all to question To always seek a little more. He wore his grump with honor And wisdom in his heart A knight in shining armor Who always played his part?

Remember you are producers You're not listeners, you are just as much a part of the show as John and I were Listening to the past two hours in 43 minutes There was a couple of surprising things to me The first one is is that the number one most favorite ISO was game set match the alien people win. I can't even remember how long ago that one came up, but the most important thing that i learned

2:50:04 Is that Dana Brunetti is a fraud? What a typical Hollywood guy taking credit for someone else's creation. I'm like, what are you doing Brunetti?! He didn't create anything! If anything was Eli the Coffee Guy and this thing was going on from episode 200! Wait let me clarify that... We were doing the happy news stories and everybody was like, oh brother Let's stop those and that's when Brunetti told Johnny you need to do the tip of the day Calling it back. So it wasn't he came up with the idea He was just urging us to stop doing the happy new story But somehow he forced us to create a created by Dana Brunetti credit in the in in the clothes That's because he's magic

The things that we went through with As No Agenda Nation together...I mean the COVID clips were blowing my mind! Just the stuff that we were seeing and talking about in the middle of de-platforming everywhere. Wow, we really kept each other alive. It was just so wonderful Yes, all of these things hold a lot of years had them It was a lot of shows.

So no surprise that We all mourn in different ways and in Knowage In The Nation we like to mourn and celebrate with donation notes. And I have a feeling John will be pretty angry about the length of some of these notes

2:54:30 Holy mackerel, holy mackerel. He would be complaining... We're not gonna do that we are going to read the notes that came in as we promised Wait wait wait! We can complain still Oh no, we should complain there's no doubt about it And we stopped at 88.88 on the last show, we're going to go all the way through to the 50s as we always do with the addition I think of some from the last show so everybody who sent in a note we will read your note Mimi you had something to say?

2:55:25 speakers on the floor anyway. I don't know how John did it! I think he wasn't really listening to you. Sheer stubbornness... No, I think Mimi has it right. Unwillingness to change He wasn't actually listening to me that's probably right That's probably closer to the truth So let's go down our list. We start off right off the bat with a Rub-a-Lizer from Viscount, dude named Jeff, protector of the land from Westlake Ohio $3333.33 He says I've been waiting for the right time for a Rub-A-Lizer donation no better time than in honor of JCD No jingles, no karma In honor of JCD but yes sir you get this India hang out Mike Standby

2:56:12 33, 33, 33. Rob Eliza out." And I might as well continue with the next very long note from Sir Steve Knight of the Red Heart also $3,333.33 he says no agenda family Seeing the passing of John C. Dvorak on the title of show 1888 made my heart sink I've never cried for the passing of someone i have never met this by the way was a general comment people would send me The impact that this show has had on me and so many others is evident with resounding messages that happened over last week I'm incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon this show thanks to Adam's appearance on Joe Rogan podcast in early 2020

2:56:58 Rogue and donation I started listening before my daughter was born in March of 2020 and the insight that two of you provided Helped immensely navigating that first year of her life when it seemed like the world was turned upside down. I'm beyond appreciative Of the service that you to have provided in a time when its rare to converse with anyone outside of your chat bot You too made it made enjoyable to listen to old friends discuss the state of the world twice weekly If I can suggest if it's even possible to find any more is an article discussing the higher hand which explores higher and lower planes of spiritual existence. I bring this up because having listened to John, and heard the overwhelming sentiment about his impact on others' lives that there is no doubt that he has transcended this plane of spiritual existence and ascended."

2:57:44 This donation brings me to barrenhood. I would like to request the rule of Southwest Lorain County, Ohio specifically the township of Columbia Station I cannot emphasize how much i appreciate the value both Adam and John have provided to me over the last six years, six years and a half. Other than a bitcoin donation! The Rubbleizer donation cost me roughly $333.33 when it was purchased in 2018-2019. I wish the value I could provide was 100X this value but sadly... ...I wasn't early enough for the hard money revolution I truly appreciate everything that the entire Noah Gender crew has done to make this experience a possibility because there's nothing else like it. I can't wait to get the rubbleizer coin eventually, yes! I'd also like to request John's fisting nuts jingle for brevity we're going to do some of these longer jingles at the end because this will take several hours to get through this note. Reverend Manning were all gonna need a Bitcoin

2:58:40 And if possible, a prayer from Adam because I think we're all in need of one in times like this. Let me give you your Robilizer first. India, hang out Mike. Standby 333333 Robilizer out So...I do want to honor his request Do we have Jay nearby? To start keeping an accounting of all the jingles that were owed at the end of this No, Jay's sleeping. To honor his request of a prayer I will do that

2:59:20 Father God in Jesus name we come to you as an entire community and we thank you for the time that We were able to spend with John here on this earth Lord. We ask you for grace And we asked you for the Holy Spirit to lift us up during this time Lift up the Dvorak's lift up those accuracy's lift up all of Noah generation, Lord And we pray that you have your arms around John and we pray for this lord in your son Jesus name Amen sir gatekeeper To the No Agenda family, Sir Gatekeeper here returning from the fog of my life with my deepest and warmest condolences on the passing of John C. Dvorak I've been saving my donation for episode 2000 but it felt right to send it now in his honor

3:00:04 Sorrow sorocracy and have been listening to remember that one and I've been listening it intermittently ever since. I greatly enjoyed John's 3x3 broadcast analysis, and that awesome jingle what an earworm his robust knowledge of aphorisms and is Insightful tips will be sorely missed. Since my instant-night donation on episode 999, I got married opened a business closed that business COVID killed it got divorced and now returned to attending church after 20 years praying the rosary daily and reading the scriptures in hope that we might all be saved We never know where life will take us, but we can thank God that we have the blessings needed to carry on. I believe with this donation i should now qualify for Baron Peerage if the title is still available! I'd be honored to become Baron Thaddeus of the Tampa Peninsula Thank you both for all the years of content and maybe more time will tell love and light thad

3:00:58 Sir Gatekeeper Parker, and I have noted your jingle requests of the three by three. And I think we can do those at the end Warren crafts $1987 and 25 cents and asked for a de-duce You've been D douched I Was thinking about the show on Thursday morning and saw the news prayers to all in many lightness And may lightness find all of our hearts. JCD will be missed, thank you Adam, Mimi and crew for all you do. Humbly requesting my knight name of Sir Crafts of the Timbered Highland May we have rye whiskey and fistful of nuts at the round table Respectfully Warren Crafts and your jingle of The Ghostly Donate is noted

3:01:45 Boy, here's one that John would hate. It's blowing out the spreadsheet! Owen K., from Tucson Arizona $1,888.88 Thank you On 7-23 I was hoping to enjoy another episode of the Best Podcast in the Universe, but the feed wasn't showing an update at the usual time. Instead I tuned into We Get To Do This and was shocked to hear about John's passing! No agenda has been part of my life since 2008 it has always been something to look forward on Sundays & Thursdays Having quit TV around this same time it quickly became my main source of news

3:02:21 The show has been with me through all kinds of highs and lows. I have good memories of tending the grill as I cook Sunday dinner for me and my parents, accompanied by you and John discussing latest news international conflict disease outbreak or beauty pageant. There's that chair creak When anything major happened in the world, the first thing I'd think was, I wonder what John and Adam are going to say. I was fully expecting you two would make it to 2000 and beyond every time either of you hinted at ending this show i thought maybe listeners could donate so much money you would be indebted to continue the show as our media analysis slaves ad finitum I loved John's sense of humor, laughter and quick wit and followed him across the internet from no agenda to twit cranky geeks tech 5 dh unplugged and a new domain. I forgot about that one He was the crazy uncle we all wish we had with the best stories and funniest quips listen to the John stories episode several times

3:03:15 Adam, it has been remarkable hearing about your faith journey and encouraging to me even as a fellow believer. I hope your walk with Christ was meaningful to John and changed his heart in some way." This is my first real donation though i did get my official No Agenda Challenge coin back in 2010! I'll happily take a de-dooshie. You've been dedooshed And you could knight me Sir OK of the Middle Desert and I'd like root beer and soft pretzels at the round table There will never be another John, but I hope no agenda continues on in some form. Gitmo Nation media assassinations never get old. Praying for all who grieve John's passing he will be so missed. Owen from Tucson." And then he has a PS...

Cultural Attache and Bay Area Love Stories

Donation notes highlight the personal impact of the show, including a listener named Jack Hockman who was named "cultural attache" by Dvorak 17 years ago. Another note from the Co-Hands describes how the show helped bridge a compatibility gap between a fan of Ira Glass and a "represented agitator" during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sir Knives and the Dvorak on Typing Legacy

A lengthy donation note from Sir Knives of the Providence Plantations reveals that John C. Dvorak's voice was used in a 1980s educational software program called "Dvorak on Typing." The donor, now a computer engineer, credits the program with his early interest in tech. The note concludes with a lyrical tribute adapted from Bruce Springsteen.

3:17:27 Lyle Lyle Lyle 7-eleven and 15 cents Adam I was waiting for Bitcoin to hit a thousand so I could go straight to in tonight a Thousand boom paid a thousand long time ago. Maybe men a million Ironically John didn't hang around to see that day which he would have groused about which only feels right for a bitcoin donation the knowage in the show has been a constant voice and an ocean of madness and To not get his worldview twice a week will be a real gap in my life. Please do she dushed me You've been D douche rubble eyes are out only for rubber lizers Kia, Kaha I believe it is Lyle Dame Lacey from Lake Mills Wisconsin 588 88

3:18:08 To John, family and friends. My virtual arms are reaching out to embrace you during this incredibly difficult time. John was truly an esteemed man who remarkably impacted the lives of countless people. His loss is felt deeply by so many me included. To show the love and admiration I hold for JCD, I offer this donation in his honor. This brings my peerage level to that of Baroness May I please hear John once again ask for producers to donate in a spooky voice? I will play that at the end Blessings to all, love and light. Thank you for your courage. Dame Lacey Lake Mills Wisconsin Tom and Larissa from Georgetown Texas 526 36 To Adam in the Dvorak family we send you our heartfelt condolences on the passing of JCD We are going to miss his grumpiness may he rest in peace sincerely Tom and Larissa Oh this is the one I've been waiting for Okay This literally blows out three spreadsheets

3:19:03 But we do break for nights here on the show. So Sir Knives of the Providence Plantations and Lady Butters of Narragansett Bay sent in $526.36, and whoever is next will take it after this one Adam, Mimi and all the Noah Jenner family. I had wanted to donate for Thursday's show but i found myself at a bit of loss for what to say losing John so suddenly hit me harder than I thought possible when my wife lady Butters texted me initially I couldn't believe it and as so many others have said I thought it simply had to be a ploy for donations was a possibility

3:19:41 I wish. I rarely hate being so wrong as much as i feel now myself and lady butters have been delinquent in donations too long, I hope my $500 plus fees can make up for that and you humor my following on how John has impacted us both George S Patton once said it is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died rather we should thank God such man lived It feels apt I think my first interaction with JCD was as a kid in grade school in our shambles of a computer lab where they were teaching us to type and though my memory is foggy, I'm pretty sure I remember the voice prompting me was none other than JCD himself. Yes they used Dvorak on typing Was that a real thing Mimi? Oh absolutely it is we have one framed on the wall oh my goodness I didn't even know about that

3:20:29 Already a rather old product by the time I was there to teach the kids. I suppose I can understand why John may have hesitated to recommend it and seem too shy... to shy away from talking about it on the show. Wow, I didn't know this about Dvorak on typing! I need this! I'm a pecker, I need to learn how to type! I am now a 38-year old computer engineer with nearly two decades experience and to this day I utilize a bastardized pick and peck method that ended up becoming ingrained in me as a kid but the fundamentals of typing clearly didn't stick John's voice sure did

3:21:04 In high school, I have fond memories of seeing John every so often when I would catch him on tech TV. I recall him always eliciting a chuckle for me when I saw one of his hot takes and I always appreciated his wit. It stuck with me made me feel like being a computer nerd wasn't the stigma that there were normal folks out there There were also something more than computer literate Seemed like he had a solid grasp of Oscar Wilde's concept that life is much too important to thing ever to talk seriously about it Fast forward to 2016, I distinctly remember. I was tremendously hungover sitting on the couch and through some freak oddity my echo speaker fouled up what had told it to start playing some random podcast... The best podcasts in the universe are some such thing as they build it! My addled semi-conscious mind didn't bother to turn off an instead I listened

3:21:51 I thought i recognized one of the voices i heard. There was this overzealous guy who sounded like he had a lot of hair, but there was also the other host who sounded suspiciously like he had less hair and i wondered why the first guy wasn't sharing the hair but i digress." Oh man... He sounded familiar, it struck me then. Crap! In a hat that's John Dvorak the same guy who I ignored typing prompts from and thought was amusing a decade prior when caught him on TV. I sat there slipping in and out as I yo-yoed my guts from imbibing far too much the prior night and listen suddenly and raptured when my, at the time recent wife Lady Butter stopped it to set a timer for something and I was pissed. I realized that I had found something remarkable, a huge part of that was John."

3:22:36 In the time since no agenda has become a weekly staple in our house, countless are the Sundays we have sat enjoying brunch after our weekly range trips. We call it going to church. Listening to the live stream laughing and enjoying JCD's rapier wit and sensible takes often we would have range buddies over after and getting over what they initially thought was a cult they will be laughing appreciating John's acumen as well Numerous times, John would bust out some quip or some one-liner that had us laughing and my dear lady Butters would exclaim, see? That is why John is my spirit animal. He's the best curmudgeon! She had always felt kindred with John as a fellow writer I can't describe how elated she was when he saw fit to add her as connection on LinkedIn years back

3:23:20 She was elated and wore it as a badge of honor. I truly think it was to be associated in any way with such a prolific personality is truly an honor He was fundamental to her, as he has been to me. What's the word? Resquiat in pace. Thank you, John. They broke the mold with you You will be so sorely missed but never forgotten We poured one out for you when we heard And you have our word, we're doing another for you now Go bravely into that howling infinite knowing in the howling infinite knowing how many lies you had made better rest easy be proud you deserve it say hey to my uncle steven if you see him you guys will get along i've dragged this on oh not really my apologies and I don't know a good way to end it but some lines of a song come to mind written by Springsteen before he went off the deep end. It seems poignant

3:24:15 They say you can't take it with you, but I think they're wrong because all I know is that I woke up this morning and something big was gone. Gone into that dark ether where you are still young and hard and cold just like when they built your brother and broke the mold Now your death is upon us and will return your ashes to earth And I know you'll take comfort in knowing You've been roundly blessed and cursed But love is a power greater than death, just like songs and stories told. And when she built you brother she broke the mold." Thank you so much for your time reading this all the boots on the ground, the feet in the air, there's subs in the water mourn you this day thank you for your courage Sir Knives of The Providence Plantations and Lady Butters of The Narragansett Bay I didn't know that Springsteen actually had words to his song

Final Peerage Reads and JCD Influence

The episode concludes with a final round of donation reads and peerage assignments. Listeners from across the United States and Europe credit John C. Dvorak with teaching them to think critically and approach the world with a "healthy dose of skepticism and humor." Many express a sense of loss for a man they felt was a "friend and mentor" despite never meeting him.

3:25:05 So JC. All right, David Rhodes of St George Utah Gateway to Zion. Hold on one second Mimi when JC is talking can you just mute and unmute when you want to?

Rest in peace JDV

3:26:31 Avery Allen, Trenton New Jersey $500 Hello No Agenda Family! Today my heart is heavy but I feel rich having listened for so long and also feel encouraged that Adam will continue the legacy. Best wishes to Adam and John's family Katie and Tom Tierney in Carver Minnesota $500 Alright, let me prepare. Here you go! Two years ago my brother Rob the constitutional lawyer called me while I was walking around campus at the greatest university on the planet Texas A&M Dropping off our youngest for school, he was actually calling to ask for some job search advice for a friend but before he got that point he had to tell me about how he knew her. As it turns out this story led straight to No Agenda then asked me do you remember PC Magazine? I laughed of course i do the magazine is partly responsible for the entire direction in my career from there he told me about meeting John and Adam before long my smoking hot hillbilly husband and I became devoted no agenda producers-in-waiting

3:27:32 For the past two years, those six hours a week have been some of the few moments where the noise of the world fades away and common sense returns. When my brother texted this week to tell me that John had died it felt like a punch in the gut I've been following John C. Dvorak's work for more than 30 years from PC Magazine days through No Agenda I always assumed there would be time to meet him someday then suddenly there wasn't John had a combination of wit, intelligence, skepticism and delightful cranky charm that simply can't be replaced. He taught generations of us to question narratives think independently never lose our sense of humor while doing it the donation in John's memory is officially our deducing I've been telling Tom we should become producers ever since we started listening, but life always seemed to get in the way. If you realize that's not a very good excuse if John's passing has reminded me of anything it's this don't wait support the things you value tell people what they mean to you make make the trip give the donation live the life

3:28:34 Thank you, John for decades of insight laughter and perspective. You left the world sharper than you found it Godspeed John rest in peace Keith Sir Big Johnson Poughkeepsie New York $500 Dear Adam & Dvorak family been a listener since episode 11! John was the best my deepest condolences I've heard when... I've heard when an office chair squeaks, a podcaster gets his wings. Then he had a number of wings!

Sir R Daniels 422 21 cents I saw the email notification in the background while in a virtual meeting and assumed it was JCD newsletter clickbait. How wrong was I? I was listening to John's last show before hearing the news last week, as usual, while working out and remarked on my head how this show these guys have been part of for decades. I'm 53 so Adam on MTV pairing up with guy had been reading since 6th grade in PC Magazine started listening to No Agenda episode 1

3:30:14 I was there from the beginning, hearing about it first on Twit. Christian Hartsock former Project Veritas chief investigative reporter and the man behind the Noodle Boy story called me and asked have you heard the news?

All right take it away yeah The Cohans, with $421.10 Hi Adam and team I'm so sorry for your loss In remembrance of John, I thought you might like to hear how No Agenda especially John as a fellow Bay Area resident played a part in our love story When my husband Josh and I started dating during COVID Our first real test of compatibility was sharing our favorite podcasts I, a reformed

Josh on the other hand a represented agitator at heart raised on a strict Bay Area diet of good vibes only listened to you Adam & John who always seemed to be yelling loudly about corruption everywhere I get it You can't trust anyone It just wasn't for me Adam's voice raised my cortisol levels, John was slightly easier on the ears. But I mostly listened just to connect with Josh with whom I was slowly growing to love. Over the years though, I grew to genuinely appreciate this show. Hell even Adam's voice grew on me but for Josh this show became a significant part of his support system during the hardest period in his life through divorce and custody battle stressful career

3:32:01 Josh and I come from vastly different worlds. On paper, we're not compatible and our relationship was strained for many reasons but our mutual love and respect grew stronger as we learned about each other And your show was a major factor in propelling our relationship forward Listening, pausing talking listening again to your voices made us realize that our compatibility wasn't in identical backgrounds or viewpoints but rather in our willingness to engage in hard conversations and lovingly challenge each other's perceived belief system. And that has become a building block in our marriage today. Ira Glass sure as hell didn't help us grow as a couple! And for that I am forever grateful we will miss you John Adam

Jeffrey Walsdorf, Media Deconstruction from Osaka

Jeffrey Walsdorf donated $350.93 from Osaka, Japan, where he moved to disconnect from American corporate media. He described how the show's deconstruction of tech CEOs and political narratives helped him maintain a balanced perspective while living abroad. Walsdorf specifically mentioned his appreciation for John C. Dvorak's interest in Sumo wrestling and his sarcastic reactions to self-important industry leaders.

3:37:13 Shannon McNeil with $350.93 I stumbled upon No Agenda in early 2020 and it has been nothing short of life-changing for me and my family. John Hennos always reminded me of my father-in-law, Me too! And i was gutted to hear the news of his passing My sincere condolences Sending love & light Jeffrey Walsdorf with $350.93 donation And 350 words And 350 words. I actually don't know if i can see this whole thing, Adam. The spreadsheet... It's too big for the spreadsheet! It's blowing out the spreadsheet! I'll do it no problem. Dear Adam thank you for taking the time to read my note on Thursday show he's coming back with 350 93

3:37:59 I was still in a state of shock when i wrote it so it was very brief. After hearing so many wonderful notes on episode 1888, I wanted to take another shot at it. I first started listening to No Agenda back in the COVID days and I was confused and frustrated by our response to the virus as it didn't make any sense to me and hearing your takes on Rogan convinced me to give this show a listen I finally fell in love with No Agenda. The format of the show, the way the news was deconstructed, and fun jingles – the whole presentation was amazing! And have been a loyal listener since but must admit while I came for Adam Curry I stayed for John T. Dvorak I didn't know about his full career before i started listening, but I loved his deep knowledge of tech and politics. His snarky comments always made me laugh and his fun stories experiences and insights were always great to hear in fact the font of this email is Georgia one that John recommended every episode I look forward to whatever smartass comment John would have chambered knowing it would make me smile thank you so much Adam for introducing him to me

3:38:57 Whenever I hear some news model or talk show guests talk about how horrible it would be in the US if the US didn't fund some BS program, I'll hear John sarcastically screaming oh no in the background. Whenever I hear some tech CEO claiming that their new product will change the human race forever, I'll think of John saying I'm smelling ketamine! I'll be thinking of John when I watch Sumo wondering if he would be happy that Ao Kaneshi has regained his Ozeki title. I think he would be my family and i moved to Osaka Japan about a year and a half ago disconnecting from the U.S corporate media and social media in general has shrunk my amygdala to the perfect size listening to no agenda regularly would get me the real news coming out of the states so I hope that the media deconstruction continues in some form

3:39:47 I can't think of anyone who does it better than you. I will be supporting you the entire way My deepest condolences to you the Dvorak family and everyone affected by his loss Thank you for the years of insights and laughter John, I wish it could have been more Augusto Andreoli $350 93 cents ITM Adam Mimi, everyone.

My sincerest condolences for the heavy loss of an incredible man your show and John were an amazing and calming influence throughout my life The stories the easygoing attitude of this has happened before made the world feel understandable. My wife who occasionally listens loved John's stories reactions and quips to the point where she was questioning whether she is truly a cranky old man on the inside It was a pleasure to meet John at the Seattle Meetup in August 2018. On the next show, 1059 he referred me as the Russian card trick guy which was hilarious!

I hope he was able to enjoy The Johnny Walker Blue in its entirety." Oh, I'm sure he did and he didn't share it with me. I'm also grateful to have had the opportunity to hoist a few drinks with him and the knowage in the nation that attended the Northern Silicon Valley meetups, I will definitely attend the next meet up at Pizzeria Violetta come hell high water or broken elevators! Lastly what truly impressed me about John in addition to his vast body of work and natural talent was this family that he and Mimi have raised you guys are like the Von Trapp Family Singers

Ryan also noted his surprise when Dvorak accepted his LinkedIn request just ten days before his passing.

3:44:19 We read the news and it hit us like a ton of bricks. Episode 1888 was a tough listen, Adam your opening made us cry. The stories and clips were just what we needed in this sad, tough time. Others have said this but it's crazy how John impacted all of us and we would weep and feel such a huge loss for someone that we had never met We are sending love and prayers to Mimi the family Adam and Tina and the whole Noah-Generation. We will miss JCD but feel so blessed and lucky to have decades of great memories through his writing and podcasts Love from Chris & Leslie at Fluffy Bottoms Farm in Driftwood Texas

I was hitting the mouth with this podcast and have learned a ton while listening over the past six years Thank You JCD you demand dog and I'll read this one from Sean C Ryan of Volante Texas another war in peace but it's good As a proud Noah Genna producer and family show producer and family member coming up on a year, I've been struggling with much grief since learning of John C. Dvorak's passing earlier this week God! I miss him His reasoned wisdom biting wit dry acerbic humor experienced hardened insights consistent grousing unbridled skepticism and curmudgeonly demeanor all those prickly idiosyncrasies he gracefully filled the role of a sensible contrarian A true grouchy gentleman and scholar

3:45:47 My sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers are with Dvorak & Curry families and with the broader NOAA Gender Producer community. I consider all of you my first responders I shackle myself to every show and wait each week with bated breath for the next episodes. JC and Adam formed a duo unmatched in the mainstream media, their quibbling banter and jocularity is deliciously entertaining while delivering thought-provoking MSM deconstruction This is why The No Agenda Show IS the greatest podcast in the universe Let's keep it going The news of JCD's passing was communicated to me by my 25-year old Gen Z son, my only child via text on Tuesday.

3:46:27 My first thought, really my hope was that it might be some gambit and atomism cooked up by JCD to boost donations. I so deeply wish that was true! I called my son later that day to talk about what this loss meant for both of us He told me he had recently begun listening to every Noah Jenner episode from the very first one simply because he wanted to be entertained and enlightened by full breadth of The Noah Jenner Show podcast in all its varied and sundry episodes. I'm truly proud of this fine young lad At the risk of arousing JCD's legendary buzz-killing grousing, I'll add two brief personal notes. First after hearing him and Adam question why Texans preferred Keb Paxton over John Cornyn, I emailed John with boots on the ground insight explaining why most sensible Texans found Cornyn a proven rhino and were willing to accept Paxton's baggage what politician doesn't have some? They shipped...

3:47:22 Excuse me. They shifted their stance in the next show, maybe I played a small part maybe not either way it felt like a contribution second i recently sent JCD a LinkedIn request half expecting no reply from someone of his stature he accepted on July 16th 2026 only 10 days before the news that now compounds my profound sadness I had hoped and planned to meet JCD in person one day. I guess we'll have to wait until on the other side of the pearly gates with him." I was already blessed to meet Adam and his lovely keeper Tina at a Noah Jenna Meetup in Fredericksburg last April rest in peace John C Dvorak, JCD... I see an M-dash there suspicious legendary buzzkill a good sir he wants an F cancer

3:48:08 With much love and admiration, ITM from the Gitmo Nation and beyond. Sean C Ryan of Volente. And I got the F cancer for it. I've been listening since i finished college in 09 and knew a day like this would come but not that the hole would be this deep. Rest In Peace, John. Viscount Dame G Money $333.33 I feel like...I feel like I've lost my cranky grandpa!

I crumpled to the floor and stared for an ungodly amount of time waiting for my brain to catch up like many I hope it was some macabre trick

3:51:23 Eventually, I mustered the courage to hit play. The tone had shifted... something-someone was missing! The tears poured out of me. I picked myself up and walked into the sunlight as the voices stories jingles and memories continued so did i.

Sir John of South London donated $333.33, tracing his history with John C. Dvorak back to the mid-1990s show "The Sight" on MSNBC. He followed Dvorak's career through PC Magazine and Cranky Geeks before becoming a regular listener to the current podcast.

3:54:02 I've been in a melancholy daze since hearing of John's passing. This show has been an anchor in my life since 2012, and for that I am eternally grateful. Adam and John have given me through... gotten me through some of the hardest times of my life I rebuilt our home after a hurricane, Ian. With your voices in my ears. I lost my father a year ago and NO AGENDA was there with me for the road trip back to our hometown My heart goes out to the Dvorak and Curry families And to the rest of NO AGENDA Nation RIP JCD Godspeed Commodore Cory Jean-Pierre Caudill from Sao Paulo, Spain. No it's Brazil I just don't know any of the states in Brazil. In the morning please de-douche me as this is just my second donation since i found out the best podcast in the universe through your appearance on The Tom Wood Show back in 2020 during the COVID craziness. You've been de-douched

3:55:07 Sending condolences to you, Mimi and the No Agenda family on the loss of John. Thank you both for everything over the years. Long live the show! Sir John of South London from London, which is in London in Great Britain with $333 and 33 cents. Dear Adam, Mimi and the Dvorak clan I first came across John on The Sight which aired on MSNBC in the mid-90s. I've kept track of his various pieces work spanning PC Mag, Cranky Geeks Tweet, and of course no agenda. 30 years is a long time when I look back. I've changed house many-a time and even changed nationalities. When I received last week's newsletter informing us of JCDs untimely passing away, I thought it was his latest and puppy's ruse!

3:55:57 Sadly, as I continued reading the email it was no joke. It feels like a part of my life has gone away but I've got the memories to keep JCD alive! I will fondly remember JCD's visit to London in 2017. I have attached a photo to share with you and the Dvorak family to boot. Here is one of you when you were here in London 2018 too. In terms of jingles, one of our favorites is the JCD ghost spooky theme. RIP JCD you are one-of-a kind a real cranky but absolutely endearing gank with the deepest condolences regards Sir John of South London. Sir Fast Eddie with no location from 300 with $333 and 33 cents RIP. This is from Alameda! Does he say from Alameda? Where?!

Sir Fast Eddie, Alameda Meetup and Photo Collage

Sir Fast Eddie of Alameda, California, requested that listeners send photos of John C. Dvorak to create a giant collage for an upcoming meetup at Pizzeria Violetta on August 15th. He recalled conversations with Dvorak about numerology and a shared desire to ban peanuts on airplanes.

3:56:49 Right there, in Baronet of Alameda. Oh wow! Oh Baronet of Alameda the Islands, RIP JCD thank you for all you've given me over the past six years I will deeply miss our meetup conversations about numerology and that kids can't read tape measures The lens you've given me will be a tool i use for the rest of my life I will miss you at least twice a week and every time I eat nuts on an airplane I used to carry bags of nuts when i traveled just in case i sat down next to jcd on a plane.

Eddie Sanders, PC World and Oral Contents

Eddie Sanders from Colorado donated $333.33, noting that he had been following John C. Dvorak's work since his days writing for the back pages of PC World.

The host acknowledged the ongoing responsibility to report on the "oral contents" of public figures, a recurring show theme.

Sir Patrick Coble, History of Podcasting and RSS

Sir Patrick Coble, a long-time producer, submitted a lengthy note detailing the technical origins of podcasting. He credited Adam Curry's collaboration with Dave Winer to modify RSS architecture as the catalyst for the medium. Coble emphasized how this technology eventually allowed Curry and Dvorak to form their partnership and build a decentralized community resistant to censorship.

patrick coble· dave winer· rss· decentralization· hot pockets tour

3:59:59 Okay, and then this one is too big. I'm so sorry! No no, it's from the Duke of the South Sir Patrick Coble Happy to read it Howdy again to the Dvorak clan and Adam You know Patrick Cole has been such a staple of the show And in meetups in particular everywhere around the world I wanted to make sure that I sent one last note because John always knew people are behind on newsletters Spam monster eats emails So you have to stretch the promos out a bit Y'all did an amazing job with the show 1888 who would be proud of all you did to team up and get through everything. And he would have a grin a couple of times, and he would have had a grin a couple of times with all the good things being said about him no agenda and their favorite John moments

4:00:42 I talked to many people after and everyone said it was like we were all at a celebration of life together with the family, and feeling like we are part of that family too. But when Raven came out of Club 33, I knew it was going to be a great show along with some of the celebrity appearances too! Yes, we had billionaires millionaires and paupers... It was great After that show, I thought about a saying that Adam and I have heard a lot in our church circles that was brought out on the show a couple times after Adam came back to the church. Well it was never there... There are no coincidences in the kingdom! After hearing the last show, I couldn't agree with it anymore We're all here at this moment because of a huge series of events and our own journeys in our lives Some roads were longer and windier And the number of bumps varied too But we are here now

4:01:29 The tech that came out over the years that John criticized but also loved is a major part of what Noah Jenner Nation is here. Podcasting can be attributed to the podfather himself, Adam Curry not to be confused with Adam Carolla. A radio and music nerd who was on the internet at the same time John was but going after other dreams with websites until he asked Dave Weiner to modify RSS architecture so large audio files could attach to web feeds And with the help of some other nerds, we now have podcasting. Adam didn't stop there he kept going decentralizing to protect it from censorship Who would have thought a pirate radio kid turned nerd would come up with podcasting The exact medium that he would meet his best friend turned brother John C Dvorak The same technology that John reviewed over the years was used to record and stream all those shows all over the world

4:02:19 John and Adam are true podcasting superheroes for the whole world. Things happen exactly like they were supposed to make Noah's generation happen, there are no coincidences in the kingdom I'm thankful Adams work with curry in the keeper and with pastor Jimmy on we get to do this And his work to build The Godcaster app is bringing more people to the church I'll be forever thankful to John and Adam for all these things that led to those three podcasts because they brought me back to the church and changed my life I will never be able to say thank you enough to both of them for helping me nerd out, become a dude named Ben, learn the things and get back into church for myself and my family. I love you all! Thank you everyone in the No Agenda Nation who made it what it is and will always be. Getting knighted in Nashville on the Hot Pockets Tour with Sir Jeff Smith & Adam is the moment I knew NO AGENDA was way more than just a podcast. Lastly sorry John again two long notes in a row

I can say this is the only podcast i have listened to every week for more than 33% of my life it's for me

4:07:15 It's formed my thought and actions and saved my mind more times than I can count. The interview John did with Bob Hile all those years ago was of tremendous value to me, and gave a glimpse at where the industry I work in—touring and events—came from. I've always remembered that and thought of it fondly. I look forward to the next chapter as John's legacy lives on so that my wife can ask what did the No Agenda folk have to say about whatever thing she saw online?

Sir Kevin of Devon, Challenge Coins and IBM PS2

Sir Kevin of Devon from Gig Harbor, Washington, shared his history as a Commodore and owner of several Dvorak books. He recalled an email exchange where Dvorak talked him out of giving an honorary knighthood to Larry King. Kevin also joked about Dvorak's claim that he successfully reassembled an IBM PS/2 computer, a feat many listeners found skeptical.

gig harbor· challenge coin· larry king· ibm ps2· os/2

4:11:11 I have the list actually. Sir Kevin of Devon, Gig Harbor Washington. Ah! Gig Harbor one of my favorite places My journey with No Agenda started with the very first episode. I was hooked and stayed for the whole amazing adventure Like many have said i knew John from his columns in PC Magazine and Adam from Headbangers Ball At least...I thought I knew them From the start no agenda felt like close friends talking And I got a chance to be part of the group I learned the lingo and my life was forever changed for the better. I became a better son, a better husband, a better father, a better friend. Some of my most treasured items are no gender related. I carry challenge coin number 293. I was welcomed into knighthood, became a Commodore have way too many Dvorak books." He was wrong about OS2 yeah no kidding in Dvorak predicts in 1995

4:12:07 YouTube channel Real Boring Flips, my exit strategy is littered with No Agenda John-isms and ITM comments. I get to bring great joy! I cherish my emails with John. He thoughtfully explained why my idea to give an honorary knighthood to Larry King was not good for the show! He convinced me that he really did put that IBM PS2 computer back together No, we don't believe nobody believes that Nobody put that back together. Oh Yeah, probably not it's been an emotional week But I can lean on the words of Paul in Romans 12 15 rejoice with those who

Sean Smith, Mind Control and Musical Theory

Sean Smith of Ashland City, Tennessee, pointed out a subtle musical detail in the show's outro, noting that the final piano notes correspond to the number 33. The host confirmed this was an intentional "mind control" Easter egg that had gone unnoticed for 18 years. Smith reflected on how the show remained a constant through 20 years of his life, including divorce and career changes.

f major· musical scale· mind control· ashland city· divorce

4:13:28 One thing has stayed the same every week. Twice a week, I heard Adam and John's voice. I may have missed a show occasionally but i never stopped listening thank you for all these years of keeping me informed curious and always smiling and when i heard the first notes on the seventh day it was a little bittersweet On that note at the very end of the song the piano plays its final F major chord and then plays a very soft last note A, which is both the third and that chord and the third note in the scale 33. You had us under mind control this whole time! Yes, this is the first person to ever notice that! Wow! Wow! Incredible! 18 years! Wow! Love y'all! Sean, long-time listener and donor

4:14:23 Colin McCarthy with 333, no location listed. Listening to episode 188 I found that I was not alone in my grief for a man I'd never met yet felt so connected to and while listening to Mimi talk about the night he passed I started to tear up I've been listening to New Agenda since 2008, after John's many twit appearances. John and Adam opened a whole new way of thinking to 24-year old me who was just trying to figure out what the hell I was doing. I will forever be indebted to JCD and AACC, but I haven't been a douchebag. I've been a $5-a-month producer since 2016 and decided to do some accounting as I listened to Thursday's episode. With the monthly donations and two others—one of $12.34 for the last 18 years—I'm sitting at $667

4:15:18 $333 left to knighthood. What is a sign? Then I got out of my car to pay for my lunch, the total was twelve dollars and thirty-four cents! That settled it. So with this, I want to become Sir Loudneighbor of Night... Loudneighbor Knight of the Loess Hills pronounced Luss Hills. Can I get Climategate, Amen, Fistbump Jingles and f-cancer karma for everyone who has fought it or lost someone to it? Thank you for your courage, John. Adam Mimi and the Dvorak clan. P.S., Mimi I'm excited for the downstairs stereo pictures and I hope you can convince The Funeral Home to release ants in his honor. So Colin, I actually remember seeing all of your checks that came through because I always look at them and I went ah!

Tomonymous from Amos, Pennsylvania, shared how he learned of John C. Dvorak's passing from a fellow producer, Greg the Welder, rather than through social media. He reflected on Dvorak's authenticity and recalled one of his favorite humorous segments involving Dvorak's encounter with a "public pooper." He described Dvorak as a friend to millions in the "Gitmo Nation."

4:21:21 I've been listening to No Agenda since show 996. I never had the chance to meet John, to shake his hand and certainly never had a dinner with him but it's amazing how someone you could never met could literally feel like a good friend that's a testament to how unique true and unapologetically real JCD was I found out about his passing from fellow producer Greg the Welder. He called me to tell me the news because he thought it would be better if it came from a friend than just seeing it on my phone later that night John wasn't just some podcaster, he was a friend to me and millions of others in Gitmo Nation. He brought great humor unmatched insight and bottomless value to all of us Now he's partaking in the great sock hop in the sky Think of the Dvorak and Curry families And for some reason I can't stop thinking about that time John had an encounter with a public pooper Played that! Played It! Played It!!

Sir Preston, Fired from TWiT

Sir Preston, now the Baron of the Driftless, recalled discovering the show through John C. Dvorak's plugs on the TWiT network. He humorously mentioned that Adam Curry's behavior on air once got him "fired" from ever appearing on TWiT again. Preston praised Dvorak for being exactly the same person in real life as he was on the podcast during local "Wino Meetups."

Sir Preston Santa Rosa California 288 88 Words cannot express what i feel but I have us to blast some out anyway I've been a 1212, a month donor since early 2012. I remember watching JCD on tech TV in college. I discovered No Agenda via Twit barf emoji. JCD... A snarky take on the bull crap that was covered was why I kept turning in- tuning in. Luckily his plugs for The No Agenda Show led me to the light also props to Adam for whipping out as peace on the air. That's what got me fired from ever being on twit again

4:24:43 You have kept me sane and questioning the M5M crap through so much. This donation pushes me across the line to Baron. I claim the title of Sir Preston Baron of The Driftless! I'm lucky enough to have had the pleasure to meet Buzzkill at one of the Sonoma County Wino Meetups Anyone that had not had the opportunity but wanted to can rest assured JCD was one of those people you meet in real life and they are exactly who you expected them to be A fucking champion Chapeau JCD, i'm pouring one out for...

4:25:23 I stumbled across the PCMag issue in 2003 when i was 18. I started reading and got captivated by John's column He wrote about technology in a way nobody else did with his unique combination of wit, depth and opinionated independence From that moment on I knew what I wanted to do...I wanted to follow in his footsteps! I followed this career for 23 years and was always enlightened by the way he took everything away that wasn't totally serious but well thought-of His takes on things were always original and thought provoking And his sense of humor was endearing even when I didn't get the jokes I consider John the most influential person in my life after my parents. I will miss him dearly, Mimi and the family we will all cherish his memory. His mark on the world will outlast us all...all of us. Did we find a note? Let me take over for a second JC because i found the note from Craig Clifford that we just missed. Yay! Yeah let's do it yeah Craig Clifford knight of the rolling hills of Uxbridge Ontario here

Mimi, my wife just recently borrowed too many eggs from our daughter's in-law, my keeper. Kathy loves the book! Fridge is full of Swiss deviled eggs presently the introduction in the book is funny when John pipes up and says no stop don't ask her about... Ask her about eggs!

4:35:26 calming, a good time and strangely addictive. Living through COVID in Brooklyn, New York you guys were a beacon of common sense while everyone around us was going crazy. In Brooklyn especially... Wow! I know During trying times my thoughts was that I can always listen to these guys and check out for a couple of hours. I understand now that I never realized the beacon one day would not be there anymore. And I'm very grateful for all those years and also very sad JCD's chair stops squeaking.

Whoever created the opening closing song in The Morning thank you fantastic product as John would say that is the Jeff Smith G-O-F-F Smith in Nashville Tennessee I'm about halfway through 1887 and it's a beautiful listen. John had full curmudgeon locked in out of the gate, complaints about the World Cup and donations, dissing on Cleo's name and having to be prodded into congratulating the birth. Also who else in the potosphere could offer any amount of commentary on Swedish jowl features or Molotov versus flambe cocktails?

In the morning I'm truly grateful for the incredible blessing of finding John through Twit and then being able to listen to him twice a week since 2015 Words cannot express how I feel since I've learned of his passing I felt such a kinship to a man who have never met in person But if considered him like an uncle or a father When my father passed in November, I still had John for weekly wisdom. Now I'm at a double loss." There were only three years difference in age and I think that is why it took such a liking to the way John thought. Fun fact they are the only two men have ever heard

I was saddened by our loss of John John was among the first voices I ever heard in a podcast when I discovered twit in 2005 after iTunes 4.9 stole podcasting from Adam wink, I Must confess that I think my opinion was on the wrong side of history when Leo kicked John out of Twitt But when I later started listening to know agenda, I realized how much I always appreciated John's blunt perspectives and critical thinking

4:46:06 Every time I would hear John read messages about ImageMakers, Inc. with a K, I would kick myself for not sending him my make-good for a past omitted donation note and kept meaning to send the new notes to have John read prompting my new podcasting tool but written in the style of Linda Lou Patkins' messages Although I'm a pod speeder, I listened to episode 1888 and re-listened to 1887 at one time speed. To absorb every emotion." Good for you Daniel J! "...I also couldn't help but chuckle at numerous things John mentioned in 1887 that he would probably say were reasons they took him out!"

4:46:46 I'm late sending this support because I struggled over how to express what I wanted to say, but I think Romans 10 18-13 says it best. But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. That is the word of faith that we proclaim because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved for one with a heart one believes and is justified and with the mouth one confesses and is saved For the scripture says, everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek for the same Lord is Lord of all bestowing his riches on all who call on him for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

I've been meaning to donate to let you know how much a show has meant to me and my family over the past 15 years or so. So hearing of John's passing was like a gut punch. I have to say that it hurts more than the passing of anyone except close family members but then John has been part of my life for so long in one way or the other that it's hard to remember when he entered my life I have to say it's probably been around 25 years by a column shows and podcasts, and I loved every minute of it He and Adam through no agenda helped to shape me into the man. I am today And help my wife and I just shape our boys

4:48:24 For that I am thankful to you both and to everyone who supported along the way, family friends and producers.

Hello family I want to make my first addition to the NO Agenda show. I've been listening since 2020 which means that officially been a douchebag until now It saddens me that it took the passing of John C. Dvorak for me to finally become a producer, but his passing has hit me square in the mouth and made me realize just how much this podcast has meant to me. Please forgive me! The impact No Agenda's had on my life, my family and the people I've shared it with is truly invaluable. It was giving me peace, encouraged me to question what I'm told and helped me realize that I don't have to live in fear because of what the media says every day

4:50:08 For that, I'm incredibly grateful. Rest in peace John C. Dvorak Thank you for everything you gave us My seven year old son shouts out- Shouts your name out randomly whenever the opportunity arises When we were contemplating a name for his little brother We were adamant that he should be named- We should named him John C. Dvorak This show has been part of our homeschooling journey and will continue to be even though this loss will leave a hole in our hearts Adam Curry I love you. I'm praying for you, and I'm proud to support the show god bless Camille Getani yes let me let me give her a deducing You've been de-douche She also mentions numbers 626 25 anonymous money you go ahead Anonymous Montclair New Jersey

Sir Steve, Professional Curmudgeon and TWiT Studio

Sir Steve from Melbourne, Australia, described John C. Dvorak as a "professional curmudgeon" who likely hid an ironic smile behind his grumpy persona. He recalled a missed opportunity to meet Dvorak at Leo Laporte's studio years ago. Steve noted that he cherished the email replies he received from Dvorak, even—and especially—when they disagreed on a topic.

To Adam Mimi and all of John's family my heartfelt condolences to all of you I just don't know really how to put things adequately in simple words but i know john was a stickler for the short notes so ill try to do it right Spoiler, he did... well anyway. Like so many others I first came across JCD on Twit then followed him to Cranky Geeks and then to No Agenda Through all this time has been someone who not only informed and entertained me but influenced the way i thought about the world around me He was always a professional curmudgeon But I always had the sense that he presented himself that way with quiet perhaps even ironic smile deep down I never had chance to meet John in person

4:52:27 Although I almost did one time when I visited Leo's studio many years ago to watch an episode of TWIT. John was listed as a guest but unfortunately had to pull out at short notice, I would have so loved to have met him! I've been a No Agenda producer and donor since probably episode 70, and John has always been there each week like a long-time reliable friend. I always got a kick out of receiving a reply email from him even if he didn't agree with me on whatever topic was... Whatever the topic was? Well almost especially if he didn't! Like so many in the No Agenda family, I am heartbroken at the news of his passing. I am though grateful that it was peaceful even moreso for legacy leaves us all I feel as though i've lost a friend. Adam, your tribute in episode 1888 was beautiful! I was in tears much love and respect to you Mimi best wishes to you and your loved ones from my family to yours our thoughts are with you rest in peace John C Du Bois I can never thank you enough I will miss you Love & Light Sir Steve Baranet of the Southern Skies Melbourne Australia Linda Lupatkin Castle Rock Colorado My boots on the ground report

Linda Lupatkin, Duchess of Jobs Report

Linda Lupatkin, known as the Duchess of Jobs, provided a "boots on the ground" report regarding the outpouring of love within the No Agenda community. She noted that interactions on LinkedIn, Zoom, and phone calls have emphasized the "global family" created by the hosts. The segment also includes a request for a recording of Mimi Dvorak imitating Amy Goodman.

Dan Posselt of Green Bay and Sir Rudy shared news about an upcoming event called "Clanker Corral" in Austin, Texas, on August 8th. The event involves robots dueling, and the organizers encouraged participants to build and register their own robots. There was a suggestion to name a robot after John C.

Sir Rudy, Young Dvorak Voice Comparison

Sir Rudy of the Northern Shenandoah Valley noted that the current guest host, JC, sounds remarkably like a young John C. Dvorak. JC joked that he has Dvorak's "vocal cords," clarifying it was a metaphor to avoid being "creepy." The segment also touched on Dvorak's "Tip of the Day" and his famous disdain for "macaroni and cheap cheddar."

4:57:02 The show has kept us grounded and kept me sane. John's tip of the day segment became a must listen in our house, spurring comments and questions along lines of great wine tip today or did you catch today's tip? The three by threes left the M5M fully unveiled when I see ants on the deck i say I've got ants! And when I see any form of mac and cheese I can only think of macaroni and cheap cheddar. He was as authentic as they come, and that is true of the show too. No Agenda has led me to become a better... led me to be a better professional but more importantly a better friend brother, a better son husband and father Adam I know you mentioned the show will go on in some form maybe there's way to make John's voice the voice of the robot John WAS The Book Of Knowledge I think your hearing everyone is saying JC that they hear a young John C. Dvorak in your voice

DJ Briggs, Amazon Rechargeable Batteries Tip

DJ Briggs shared a story about finally taking one of John C. Dvorak's tips: purchasing Amazon-branded AA rechargeable batteries. He described jumping on the site to buy them while the show was still airing. Briggs noted that he will keep the batteries in his office as a permanent reminder of Dvorak, expressing a "selfish" wish that Dvorak could be "recharged" as well.

4:59:32 I listened to them all. Some were interesting, some were lame... just being honest like John would be but a few shows ago John gave a tip about the AA rechargeable batteries on Amazon and i had to have them The way he described them and how they were different from previous rechargeable batteries made me jump on amazon get them while still listening at the end of the show Never used any of his tips before it just seems weird that I picked now to do something And now in the future when we are spring cleaning or moving or whatever gotta help the person that suggests this old 12 pack of double A rechargeable battery should be thrown out These stupid batteries will be used for as long as I can use them, but it'll always be in my office. As a reminder John... Still can't believe he's gone Wish we could just recharge him so i wouldn't have to miss him But that's selfish I'm sure he is resting peacefully and enjoying the outpouring of love and support from the greatest family in the universe The No Agenda Family Sincerely Saddened DJ Briggs Peter Van Eden Aiden?

Dame Vigil Annie, Manuka Gold and B-Well

Dame Vigil Annie from Colorado shared that her first order of Manuka Gold arrived shortly after John C. Dvorak's passing. She made a toast to him with a teaspoon of the honey, noting Mimi Dvorak's mention that John had a teaspoon before he died. The segment also featured Nick and Dame Tabitha, who calculated their donation based on Dvorak's age and the number 33.

Sir Dr. Jeff, PC Magazine and Phone Pranks

Sir Dr. Jeff of Atherton, California, recalled John C. Dvorak's "insider's eye" in PC Magazine during the 1980s. He also remembered Dvorak's antics on TWiT, such as switching the language on Nilay Patel's phone to Korean or Russian. Jeff noted that he heard Dvorak sounding congested in his final episode and wished he could have told him to see a cardiologist.

atherton· california· nilay patel· korean· russian· cardiologist

5:05:42 I've been a listener for the better part of a decade now, but my history with John actually goes back much further than that. As a teenager in the 1980s heading into my early 20's, I was completely absorbed by computers and a lot of what I taught myself came from PC Magazine and other periodicals of the day. John was often the writer with the insider's eye—the reviewer you trusted because he'd clearly used the thing—and had an opinion about it I read everything he wrote. He was part of my education before i ever knew his voice Years later, I rediscovered him on twit with Leo Laporte arguing with Nilay Patel messing with Leo's newest toys switching the language on some poor unbox device to Korean or Russian just to watch the gas you know? He did that to MY phone Oh yeah! Of course he did that! That's initiation man! That's a part of your deal

5:06:38 That's where I first heard about No Agenda, and when i tuned in, I got a genuine surprise. My MTV VJ from my teenage years Adam Curry sitting right there as his co-host! The two of them became a real part of my life they were funny, I learned constantly and love the irreverence of it all At a time when so much media seemed engineered to keep people anxious, their deconstruction of the news brought real clarity. They helped me remember to actually think. To ask Kiwibono who benefits? My listening became routine in the best way. I tm'd the fat lady singing, washing the car driving back roads coffee at home on a Sunday morning every episode got listened to more than once more nights and i can count. I fell asleep to the two of them arguing with each other. I never met John and never met Adam either but I feel like I know them

5:07:33 Last Sunday, I remember noticing John pause a couple of times and at one point he sounded congested. It took him awhile to clear his throat and it bothered me. I wish I had a way to reach him and just ask if he was doing alright. Tell him to check in with his cardiologist. That wasn't God's plan apparently. Mimi my deepest condolences to you and the family Adam, Tina...I'm so sorry for your loss. Get Menation will go on. It'll just be different now God bless, Sir Dr. Jeff. No jingles no karma for the NO agenda family. No jingles just karma let me give them that. Just Karma yes. You've got Karma!

Sir J, Rush Limbaugh and FEMA Regions

Sir J, Knight of the Interstate, explained how the show filled a void left by the passing of Rush Limbaugh in 2021. He described the hosts as his "bookends of the week" during his four-day driving runs. Another donor, Eric in FEMA Region 1, praised the hosts for their "exit strategy" and for helping listeners find their own voices of reason.

I started listening to No Agenda after hearing Adam on The Joe Rogan on March 4th, 2020. I tuned in to show 1230 and have been hooked ever since! You guys have been the bookends of my week. I start my four-day run on Sunday and come back home on Thursday. And the best show has been with me every mile of the way.

5:09:50 One of the things that kept me coming back was old cranky guy who was also incredibly witty. Adam was the showman and John was the voice of knowledge I will forever miss JCD his stories, his deep insights and his unique perspective You guys came into my life just before my mentor passed away. I had listened to Rush Limbaugh since 1992 and no agenda filled a void think could be filled. I didn't replace Rush, I brought me to another dimension in thought and conversation. I recently became a Knight on March 13th 2026 and i'm looking forward to the next chapter of The No Agenda Show! John's presence can never be replaced but his legacy will live on through the community he helped build. Sir J, Knight of the Interstate

5:11:28 I know that I'll be re-listening to your shows for a long time to come and always carry around the knowledge with them. You and John always talked about an exit strategy, and I like to think his legacy is his exit strategy. You've both created a large family and following that will live on, and I'm so thankful for all you've done—all of what you have done together! The FEMA regions are forever in debt to your chivalry, deconstructions and wealth of information. Ride into this sunset easy knowing your exit strategy is alive and well!

Sir Brian, Detroit Parking Ticket Anecdote

Sir Brian, the "Miserable IT Guy" from Troy, Michigan, shared a "classic JCD" memory from 2014. While driving John C. Dvorak around Detroit in a "cheap Nissan Versa rental," Dvorak insisted on parking in a no-parking zone to be closer to a rare bookstore. After receiving a ticket, Dvorak reportedly crumpled it up and tossed it in the backseat, saying, "Let them try to find me."

Sir Pete of Dublin Bay, Creative Commons Jazz

Sir Pete of Dublin Bay South recalled how the "mournful Creative Commons jazz music" at the end of the show during the 2021 "psyop" used to break his heart. He requested a roundtable drink of Irish whiskey mixed with Manuka honey in Dvorak's honor. Richard Gardner also noted that he reverted his playback speed from 1.2x to normal to savor Dvorak's final recorded moments.

They now serve as wonderful reminders of John in my daily life. While I never made it to a meetup to see him in person hearing him confidently state that I was definitely from New York City despite my donations coming from parts unknown always brings a smile to my face There are far too many highlights to recall but I have never laughed harder than when John did his Club 33 bits they were absolutely comedy gold

5:16:50 I fell behind on the show over the last few months and was listening at 1.2x speed to catch up on the backlog, but with this week's news I immediately reverted back to normal speed! I'm taking in every remaining second of John's wit and humor enjoying it for the precious commodity it now is. Rest In Peace Dear Buzzkill All my love to Adam & The Dvorak Family Jared Collier, 18880 no note. Mark Brandenburg, 18888 rest in peace John thank you for all the laughs and keeping us sane during COVID wishing Adam and John's loved ones strength and love during this difficult time

Joshua Parker, Mic Bumping and Roman Stands

Joshua Parker asked if John C. Dvorak's frequent mic bumping was a "bit." The host clarified that it was not a bit, but rather a result of a "filthy" and "leaning" mic stand that was supposedly "made in Rome" and had Latin on it. The host admitted the bumping was "super annoying" but unavoidable given the ancient equipment and room setup.

Mic Bumping Tangent, John C. Dvorak's Studio Habits

A discussion clarifies that John C. Dvorak's frequent bumping of his microphone was not a planned comedy bit but a genuine, recurring annoyance. The studio equipment is described as extremely old, potentially dating back to ancient Rome in a humorous exaggeration. The physical layout of the recording room contributed to the technical difficulty of avoiding mic contact.

Craig Jones, Tech Journalism Career Advice

Craig Jones shared a memory from the mid-2010s when he emailed John C. Dvorak for advice on breaking into tech journalism. To his surprise, Dvorak replied with his phone number and took the time to speak with him. When Jones called, Dvorak's advice was famously simple and blunt: "Don't do it." The segment concludes with a reading from Matthew 5:4 regarding those who mourn.

For decades you have shared your witty personality with us giving us the best insights with your tips and opinions that even showed how a cranky man should sound like Be it on Cranky Geeks Tech 5 or The No Jenta Show just to name a few You've been a true inspiration Wishing you a safe trip to that big round table up there And that Adam Mimi and the rest of your family and loved ones will find the strength they'll need in these difficult times

5:29:53 I'd like to request to turn down your speakers, and you've got karma jingle. Steve Brown, 105.35 Best Tech Pundit in History In an industry full of BS John was the voice of no-BS Sir Mamas Boy of the Arc Welders and Dame Rosy Posey 105.35 Dear Mimi & Adam We are sorry to hear about the passing of John My mom and I hope you and rest of the Dvorak family heal with those who hold dear and close to and pray that John is resting in peace with the Lord Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted Matthew 5, 4. It breaks my heart that I'll never get to meet the man himself and it breaks even more to hear about what kind of man he was his advice tip-of-the day media deconstructions along with Adam have helped me keep an open mind at what goes on in the world we know What to watch out for with information presented in news? And as always keep our amigdillas small with this humor hot takes and life stories His deeds actions and words will not be forgotten sincerely with much love and support

5:30:55 Sir Mama, Boy of the Arc Welders Paul Lincolns and Dame Rosie Posey Rose Lincoln's. Please do not stop this podcast it is important for all of the reasons above. Mike E Burnley St Augustine Florida 105 35 no note Craig Jones, 10535. Instead of usual condolences I wanted to share a memory of JCD and in mid 2010s as the newly minted no agenda baronet in my mid 20's I emailed John because I was convinced that I wanted a career in tech journalism and wanted advice on how to break into the industry rather than ignore my email which would be understandable given how many emails he must have been receiving He replied In fact, he gave me his number and took time to talk with me When I called his advice was simple Don't do it

5:31:43 He said I'd struggle to make a living or find stable work. Soon afterward, many major tech blogs, podcasts and publications folded or downsized and he turned out to be absolutely right! That honest advice helped change the course of my life it led me down a different path one that ultimately brought me a beautiful life in a beautiful wife He may have helped save me from years of hardship, and I've never forgotten his kindness or honesty. Rest in peace John's... uh JCD Now you can taste wine cook chili and deconstruct the media and complain about terrible writing all day long down here we'll miss you buzzkill Is BT short for something? No Probably baronet Dave Oh could be baronet Dave the reformed and keeper Melissa 105 35

Early Computing History, BT Dave and John Doyle

BT Dave recalls a 1995 April Fool's article by John C. Dvorak about 2-bit computing that initially fooled him. John Doyle describes discovering the show in 2020 while searching for COVID-19 conspiracies on Google Podcasts. Doyle requests knighthood as the "Knight of the Sweet Old Fashioned" and honors Dvorak's preference for 2018 Costco Cabernet Sauvignon.

2-bit computing· google podcasts· covid conspiracies· knight of the sweet old fashioned· costco cabernet

5:32:35 I've been a fan of JCD since 1995 when he got me with an April Fool's article about how 2-bit computing would take over. Right? I remember that one, that was great! Yeah Was i ever so young We'll sorely miss John's voice and the way he kept our feet on the ground BT Dave The Reformed and Keeper Melissa Sir Sam Of Birdfreshire Uh, 10535. I started disliking John for all his negativity in Mac user but have been a no agenda listener since the early days you're missed already JCD hope you're up there parting with Raven Sir Sam Bet of Bedfordshire and the great... the river Great Ouse

5:33:17 Michael Lumpkins, 10534. Thank you John for the years of incredible analysis your apparent love and commitment to the show your sharp wit your sexy voice and more importantly your courage will be sorely missed prayers to the Dvoraks, the Curries all of No Agenda Nation James Holliday 10534 thank you for your courage John Doyle, 104-17. Dear Adam, Mimi and the rest of the Dvorak & Noegyndi extended family In honor of the great man himself I will attempt to be brief Yeah, right. Right! Come on bud... get real. First I was hit in the mouth by a Google podcast in November of 2020 when in the dark depths of a paranoid winter I searched COVID conspiracies there and no agenda was the top result. I felt the healing effects on my amygdala from the first episode and this bomb later led me to

5:34:12 setting up a monthly producer plan despite PayPal apparently deleting all activity prior to 2023. Second, please call out Google Podcasts as a douchebag even though it is bad. though it is bad form to speak ill of the dead, no matter how much they deserved it. I finally reached knighthood earlier this year, though it has remained unclaimed until today. John and Adam have been my constant companions on my daily 150-mile round trip journey to work these last five years, and JCD's irascible, sarcastic, deeply knowledgeable, and always hilarious commentaries were one half of the reasons I would willingly donate 20 hard earned bucks

5:34:55 every 30 days to a comedy podcast, quote-unquote. To say I was surprised by how sad I was upon hearing about JCD's passing is an understatement. To affirm that this is the only podcast I donate to is a measure of how much John and Adam have meant to me over the years. that my portion of the value for value ratio was remotely equal to your side of the equation. Please knight me, sir not-that John, Knight Of The Sweet Old Fashioned! I'd like a rack of ribs from O'Denise and John C. Dvorak's favorite Costco Cabernet Sauvignon at the round table. Please Godspeed JCD and blessings to all who loved you

Engineering Perspectives, Nick Vass and John Lance

John Lance, a 1981 engineering graduate, reflects on his connection to John C. Dvorak's technical knowledge, specifically his ability to recall vintage chip numbers. Nick Vass describes a dream about the show transitioning to a live stream format just before Dvorak's passing. Both producers emphasize the show's role as a "sea of sanity" during the last five years.

engineering· microprocessors· 1981· dream· de-douching

5:41:50 Sorry, Adam. There was something about the way he shared what he knew explained and deconstructed the news and other topics and stories that really drew me in. After that first episode I knew I'd be back! I haven't had a chance to listen to show 1888 yet but on Thursday night 723, I had a dream about the show. Oddly enough in the dream it had been decided that the show would also include a live stream which made me laugh considering it was something John and Adam had joked about just a few short shows ago when poking fun at formats of other podcasts. I took it as sign that time to donate again though wish under much better circumstances

5:42:39 My second thought was of the John donation jingle. I guess even from beyond, John still hasn't found an exit strategy and I hope he continues to haunt the show. Again please accept my deepest condolences during this difficult time no jingles and all the karma and love to Adam and John's family sincerely Nick Vass. You've got Karma Eric Kessler Wow, still processing the news. John has been a fixture in my life for over the years My earliest memories of John are when I was a nerdy kid watching him on tech TV I always loved learning from him and grateful he was able to share his talents with so many He really was a father figure John and Adam have been such a positive impact on my life My prayers for Mimi and the entire Dvorak family Adam and Tina and closest friends

5:43:34 John's life touched so many. Thank you, JCD! Sincerely, Eric Kessler. John Lance! $100 donation Dear No Agenda family I was very sorry to hear of John's passing this week when i turned in tuned-in for the show on Thursday night and saw the title...I could hardly believe what I was reading. I am deeply saddened by his loss Today, I made my donation of $100 in honor of the memory of John C. Dvorak. My first donation! Yeah, my first donation in 100 dollars in honor and memory of JC Dvorak. Let's de-douche him. You've been de-douched

5:44:14 His perspective on life was always appreciated. As an engineering graduate in 1981 who participated in the early days of PCs, I always felt John was a kindred soul—especially where he would rattle off familiar chip numbers! I began listening to No Agenda in 2020 as I welcomed relief and a sea of insanity, and have been a weekly listener ever since." You have been my go-to podcast to make sense of the world and the craziness of the past five years. My condolences to the Dvorak family, and Adam for your loss. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, And let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. Amen. Adam you were blessed with a good friend. A faithful friend is a sturdier shelter He who finds one finds a treasure Yes

5:51:58 I started following John when i began working for DEC in 1981. He's a boomer like me! He had such a sharp wit and I always enjoyed when he was picking on Microsoft, IBM and Apple. I heard about the No Agenda show just as Trump 1.0 was ramping up and saw that JCD was co-host with Adam Curry my reaction was John should really be really interesting to listen to however What's he doing with an MTV VJ as a partner? The first two shows were interesting and entertaining, but I was so confused. 33 dot 33 Rebelizer Dames Nights v4v what is this madness is this like cult

I could have never imagined a more dynamic duo. I knew Adam from his MTV days In the early 2000s, I subscribed to PC Magazine where I was first introduced to JCD and his editorial column. I look forward to each month, I look forward each month to reading his column and may have subscribed to an email newsletter. When it began listening in 2015's No Agenda, I was fresh coming out of a health crisis and needed a distraction to get well. Enter no agenda! I found that at first be like a morning zoo but like John's columns, I looked forward to the shows on Thursdays and Sundays. JCD is dry wit in his humor and more importantly, his authenticity in who he is was always an attraction to me."

6:00:46 I will miss him, and not only him but the dynamic that Adam and John bring to the knowage in the community. Even when you know the days are limited here on earth and just as well, the knowledge in a podcast nothing can prepare anyone for this moment.

6:01:34 Aaron Chamberlain 9364 Dear John's family and Adams' family, it makes me sad and brings tears to my eyes to hear the news. Over 15 years of my life – I'm 38 – have been spent with no agenda. I first heard John on Twitter and became interested in listening to No Agenda because his promotion was shameless! He always seemed to promote things that meant something to him, even if it's just a blurb for someone's book. He was always he was always a treat anytime I heard him on Twit and got excited whenever I heard he wasn't a guest Once I hooked into No Agenda, I really got to know John. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the jokes classic stories like Torching Ants and Fisting Nuts Crankiness Wit and Insights One-Liners Confucius Sayings Oh yeah Grousing Moaning Complaining Jabs at Adam Talks of the Forever Vinegar Book Speaking Highly about his family and sharing their dynamic Being honest and forward about thoughts and opinions Indirectly teaching how to listen and critically think about what you hear

6:02:32 infectious laugh when you get him rolling, his phrase from the Shays, the three by threes is hilarious and quite inaccurate imitation of Mimi. His pet peeves rants and not a great questions and so many other things that I will forever cherish and will dearly miss. I never got the opportunity to meet John have only had one or two correspondences through email But I've never cared that much for those kinds of things. His legacy has made an impact on me regardless because of him we've also gotten to know the great woman behind every man, Mimi! We can't imagine everything you and family are going through but we love you guys as much as we love John in my prayers and thinking of you guys

6:03:12 Michael Cross 9364 John will be dearly missed for more than four decades He was part of so many lives through his writing and broadcasting His wit and humor were unmatched condolences to Mimi as kids and grandkids everyone who knew and he loved it These are actually 8888. So I'll just stop mentioning the number is plus the fees Thank you Jake counts.

Media Deconstruction, Joel Cox and Spencer Christian

Joel Cox and Spencer Christian praise John C. Dvorak's ability to dismantle mainstream media (M5M) narratives and linguistic manipulation. Christian highlights Dvorak's "extraordinary ability" to pull apart framing buzzwords and manufactured narratives. The contributors trace Dvorak's career from "Silicon Spin" and "Cranky Geeks" to his final role as a podcasting pioneer.

silicon spin· cranky geeks· glenn beck· m5m· linguistic mastery

6:11:43 I started watching John on Silicon Spin, then followed him to Cranky Geeks and Twit. When No Agenda began, I was there for episode one. I was laid off in June 2014 and fell away from the show for a while but returned in November 2015 Since then No Agenda has been my North Star for sanity For years I tried to hit people in the mouth Sadly I only was successful once but they fell overboard The combined wisdom and experience of John & Adam never ceased to amaze me! I always wished John would write a book filled with all his stories They were incredible, and John was always so insightful. I'll miss him forever." Throughout episode 1888, I found myself close to tears several times. I lost my dad on March 5th of this year while driving to dinner that night. I started listening to NOA Agenda and immediately noticed that the introduction was different. Then I heard the news that John was in hospital! I was so relieved he recovered. On Wednesday afternoon, I received a newsletter initially thought this subject line had been clickbait. I could not believe it was real

6:12:34 The world would never be the same without John. For the past year I had been listening to the show live and then listening to it all over again afterward. John's voice, stories wisdom and humor became part of the rhythm of my life. I'll forever miss John! P.S., I know the city says Indianola on PayPal but i'm in the Pittsburgh area! Okay good to know Joel Cox. I don't remember any of the military codes, code words for this one. Kilo Charlie 3 Lima Victor Gulf There we go long time listener 73 Jeffrey McAdoo no no Mark Leclerc. I started listening after Adam was on The Glenn Beck Show the first Christmas after COVID working in holidays at UPS. The show got me through 10-12 hour work days

6:13:20 I loved hearing John's anecdote about the tech industry, wine publishing etc. Heart! Daniel Pritchett While i'm saddened our favorite Puzzkill has left us behind... ...I am confident that the Podfather and the wonderful No Agenda producers will keep this show going strong. I'll be blasting classical music to keep the varmints away in John's honor. Alex Myers It's tough to think of a favorite memory of JCD among the 600 plus episodes I've heard. So, i'll just stick with something from my favorite person When John had his heart attack, I told my wife and showed her the picture in the newsletter She instantly replied, aww he is so cute! I'm sure he'd love that Love thoughts and prayers for the Myers family Alex, Ivan, Jacqueline & Kennedy to all Sent from a phone that would be better off in a drawer

6:14:05 Sir Waldo, in the morning. In memory of JCD who I read into PCMag in the 80s watched on CDTV in the 90's and listened to my first mp3 player in 2005 on twit then no agenda thanks for the memories sir waldo of the lake lower alabama exec producer episode 1500 Spencer Christian. John was one of those rare voices who could hear the hidden manipulation inside the M5M linguistic mastery, he had an extraordinary ability to stop a clip pull apart the framing buzzwords and manufactured narratives and reveal the spell they were trying to cast I always found his sharpness fascinating not simply because he was skeptical but because skepticism was informed by deep knowledge long experience unwillingness to say what others might overlook He understood

6:14:47 Technology, media and the business forces behind both. He was never intimidated by consensus. You'll be dearly missed. Aloha Spencer! Ashley Williams no note David Kelly Dublin I will miss John especially his sense of humor. I can still clearly remember laughing my ass off when he started announcing the girls like Raven and No Agenda Club 33 Thinking of Mimi, The Dvorak Family and Adam rest in peace JCD Paul Tittle John C. Dorark in my opinion will go down as one of the best broadcasters of all time Listening to him and Adam on air was a distinct privilege of our time And I tried my best not to take it for granted because even the best things aren't forever 3

When I met John this year, I was too stressed to ask him what it was like to work with Jared Taylor back in the 80's... That lore is lost to the cosmos

6:35:07 People, you need to remember you might not ever get a second chance. They are here and then they are not Always remember the last time you see someone might be the last and treat them with that respect My sincerest condolences to the Dvorak and Curry families and whoever actually knew him Thank you for everything Randy Lambert Lafayette Louisiana 89 19 or 89 12 rather Hello! First let me express my sympathy and sorrow for all y'all's loss. I have been an avid listener for four years, Joe Rogan sent me. Haha. First time donating to the show?

Becca in Roanoke Virginia Dear A... uh 88 dollars 96 cents Dear Adam and Mimi We achieved our layaway night in Dame Hood last February right around the time of John's surgery Instead of claiming it right away we decided to reserve it to celebrate our 30th anniversary also on 8-8 It feels a little hollow now with Johns passing Brian has been a loyal follower since 2010 after hearing John promote the show on Twit. Becca came around a bit later, around 2012 You've been in constant twice-a-week listen inspiring many of our nine kids to repeat the jingles Wow! Becca has often called John her spirit animal as they've lost track of the numerous times that she direct some story only to have John repeat the exact same comment moments later Poor Brian

6:36:51 Since all of our donations have been under the $50 threshold, we both need a deducing. Brian requests to be named Sir Brian Knight of Drossdelnok. He'd like... Kergl's Pickled Bologna and Renard's Squeaky Chee- Renard's Squeaky Cheese at the round table Becca requests to be named Dame Contrary and Seeker of Truth, and would like Cattleman's Steak & Donuts for the roundtable.

We love you John, rest well.

6:39:20 Thank you for letting me host JCD for our meetups every couple of months since October 2023. I would have started there sooner, but initially believed that it needed to be a night to properly host. Boy was I wrong! I probably could've gotten away with being a douchebag and hosted one. I listened to my first- Oh yeah. Yeah please. Everyone can host. Anyone. Uh, I listened to my first full episode of No Gender during the episode 1300 celebration in the middle of COVID and was instantly converted by all the common sense that was entering my ears. I later met John at my first meetup I ever attended in San Francisco at The New Belgium Brewery on May 15th 2021. After that I attended meetups hosted by Baron Captain Luke in Noe Valley hoping John would return but he never did! I decided to start meetups with The Mallard Club to get him out of the house because I knew John lived somewhere nearby and the rest is history

6:40:08 I'm going to miss waiting for JCD to arrive at these meetups and handing him an envelope. However, I plan on keeping these meetups going in John's honor in Albany & Oakland! I will always be grateful for these gatherings and the friendship that I have formed through them. I wish John would have told me he was born in Fresno...I am pretty sure I told him that I went to Fresno State. That conversation can wait until I see him again in heaven. Rest In Peace God Bless JCD, The Dvorak Family And The rest of the Gitmo Nation All Our Love Sir Recalcitrant Crazy Steve II & Dame Dream Girl Rose Carl Otto Rosenquist... Rosengust? Rosenquist.

I didn't believe it then I saw the newsletter It was immediately convinced this wasn't a donation ploy by John My wife hit me in the mouth several hundred episodes ago, and have not missed a single one my oldest son I often discuss the episodes whenever we had a chance to chat We loved the show Given John's larger-than-life persona and his apparently infinite pool of knowledge of literally every subject, I always assumed he'd always be here entertaining with stories and broadening our horizons. His perspective on life is something i will always remember fondly even in the most turbulent times when most people become frantic and anxious John would bring a calming energy to the conversation with wit sarcasm and a touch of grumpiness and everything would seem okay

6:55:49 Though I never met him or had dinner at his house, I enjoyed email conversations with him on some topics. He certainly made a lasting impact on my life and I will miss hearing his voice each week." The Vorak family and Adam, please know we share in your sadness and offer our condolences and prayers for comfort during this difficult time. I pray God grants you strength and peace.

John C. Dvorak's Airplane Snack Pet Peeve

A classic clip or anecdote features John C. Dvorak describing his intense annoyance with the "fisting method" of eating snacks on an airplane. He details the process of a passenger shaking a fistful of nuts to get one into their mouth, predicting that such behavior will eventually lead to fights breaking out during flights.

7:32:33 Just go for John tell us your peeve about the fisting method of eating snacks on an airplane I see this on the airplane and it's very annoying And I think it will result in fights breaking out because they're just so annoying to watch Guy takes his bag of peanuts Throws a pile into his palm of his hand, and then he makes a fists around the nuts. And then he shakes his fist to try to bring a nut to the little hole, stop! And then throws a nut in his mouth from his fists and he does it again. He shakes and throws and shakes and throws. It is annoying as hell to watch. They're saying that all hell is going to break loose and you're gonna need a Bitcoin

The Peppery Ants Anecdote and Jingle

A humorous segment explores the culinary properties of ants, with a host describing the experience of accidentally eating an ant during dinner. The discussion suggests that desiccated and ground ants could serve as a substitute for black pepper due to their peppery flavor profile, followed by a repetitive "I got ants" jingle.

7:35:38 I got ants. I got ants. Uh, I don't know if we had any ants... We had an ant invasion uh..
